Moving to Oakdale: who to call and what the city asks.

Oakdale is a city in Washington County, Minnesota, in the eastern Twin Cities metropolitan area. The water supply is treated for perfluorochemicals (PFCs) at a water treatment facility on the Public Works campus at 1900 Hadley Avenue. The city runs an open hauling system: each household contracts directly with a licensed hauler of its choice, and the hauler provides the trash and recycling containers.

Mailboxes, storage containers, overnight parking and construction hours

A temporary storage container is registered with the city through an online form before it arrives.

Between 8 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday, the area in front of any mailbox and ten feet out from each side must stay clear of vehicles.

On-street parking is not permitted from 12 AM to 5 AM, or anytime after two inches (2) of snow or more until streets have been plowed. Snow may not be pushed, shoveled, blown, swept or plowed onto a City street at any time.

Construction using power equipment, including electric, diesel or gas-powered machines, is allowed 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Commercial construction is not allowed on Sundays or holidays.

City utility billing and starting water and sewer service

New water and sewer service is set up with the city through the Utility Start Service form or by calling 651-730-2710.

Residential water and sewer accounts are billed quarterly, and commercial accounts monthly. A city utility bill includes charges for water usage, sanitary sewer, community-wide street lighting and storm water management.

Water and sewer service is stopped through an online request form.

Weekly trash contracts and container placement

All properties in Oakdale must be under contract for weekly trash collection.

Containers go on the driveway apron, behind the curb, the night before or on the day of collection before 7AM, and emptied containers come in by the end of collection day.
