MSP Runway Construction

This summer, people residing in areas around MSP may notice unusual flight patterns as well as unusual sounds, lights or aircraft activity while construction and maintenance activities are occurring. Residents may notice aircraft activity during unusual times of the day, including later in the evening, particularly when weather conditions, locally or nationally, delay or alter flight activity.

*Rate Changes:*


* Residential Sewer – increasing 5% to $26.92 per quarter
* Usage Rate – increasing 5% to $4.90 per 100 cubic feet of water used
* Storm Sewer Utility Fee – increasing 20% to $18 per quarter
