The Village of Somerset lists its own water and sewer utility, which bills for Village utility service. Check the street address and the utility or sanitary records you have when identifying your system.
Start with the address and what you know
If you have a utility bill, septic record, or property document that names the wastewater system, keep it nearby. St. Croix County also provides an online lookup for sanitary permits and maintenance records. The County says records can be searched by parcel ID or site address. A record can help identify what is on file, but if you are unsure how to interpret it, simply say so when you call.
The Town of Somerset’s adopted 2023 comprehensive plan reports approximately 1,607 onsite wastewater systems in the Town. That is a dated Town inventory, not a count for the Village, not a current percentage of Somerset households, and not proof about a particular property. The Town plan, printed page 47, is useful context for why the jurisdiction and address matter.
The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey estimates the median year structures in Somerset Village housing units were built as 2002, with a 90% margin of error of 3 years. That describes the Village’s housing stock, including different kinds of occupied and vacant units. It does not tell us the age, material, or condition of a home’s drain or sewer line. See the Census Bureau’s B25035 table for Somerset Village.
What to share when you call
Tell us the address, which drain or fixture is affected, when you first noticed the issue, and whether other drains are behaving differently. Mention any prior cleaning or other work you know about. If you know whether the property uses Village sewer or an onsite system, share that. If you do not know, say “unsure.” A few clear observations help frame a useful conversation without asking you to diagnose the cause.
Bring the address and the short version.
Somerset drain cleaning questions
Does a Somerset mailing address mean I have Village sewer?
No. A mailing address alone does not establish whether an address is inside the Village utility area or what wastewater system serves it. The Village utility page and County property records may help. Call with the address if you would like to discuss drain cleaning and confirm whether we serve it.
What should I tell you if I do not know whether my home uses septic?
Tell us you are unsure, then share the address, affected fixture, and what you have observed. You can also check St. Croix County’s sanitary records by address or parcel ID. A drain-cleaning call does not require you to know the system type in advance.
To ask about drain or sewer cleaning in Somerset, call (715) 760-5141 and have the property address ready. We will confirm coverage and take it from there.
