Plumbing emergency in Farmington right now? Do this first
Farmington’s after-hours instruction is 911, with no dispatcher or on-call crew described. For your home’s plumbing itself, the number is always Charli’s: 952-521-0880, any hour, day or night.
A flooded Farmington basement does not wait for you to find the right number first. Shut off the water: close the fixture shutoff if there is one, or the main valve, usually in the basement near the water meter on the side facing the street. Then call Charli’s at 952-521-0880. We are open 24/7.
The full sequence:
Close the fixture shutoff first.
If there is not one, or you cannot reach it, close the main valve. In most Minnesota homes it sits in the basement, near the water meter, on the side facing the street.
If the water heater is the source, turn it off.
Gas models: turn the control to OFF. Electric: flip its breaker.
Stay safe around electricity.
If water is reaching outlets, cords, or the panel area, cut power to that part of the house at the breaker, but only if you can reach it without standing in water.
Do not run more water into a backup.
If a drain or toilet is backing up, stop running water anywhere in the house until it clears.
Call 952-521-0880.
Call now, or can it wait until morning?
Call now
Call now for a burst or frozen pipe, a sewer backup, no water at all, a tank leaking from the body of the water heater, a dead sump pump with water rising, or any flooding you cannot stop.
Can wait until morning
A slow drain, a dripping faucet, a running toilet you can shut off at its valve, or a water heater that is noisy but not leaking can usually wait for daylight.
Not sure which you have? Call, and if it can safely wait until morning, we will say so.

In Farmington, your home’s plumbing goes to Charli’s at 952-521-0880, any hour. The City’s own business-hours line answers at 651-280-6800, though Farmington’s site does not agree with itself about that line’s hours: 8 am to 4:30 pm in the emergency-line sentence itself and 7 am to 3:30 pm on the Public Works contact card, while the citywide footer gives a third set, Monday-Thursday 7 am to 4:30 pm, Friday 7 to 11 am.
After hours and on weekends, Farmington’s published procedure is simply to call 911. Unlike neighboring Lakeville, Farmington’s own pages describe no dispatcher and no on-call crew, nothing beyond the number itself.

Yours. From the house to where your city draws the line.
The city’s. The main, out in the street.
Farmington draws a clear line for sewer: the sewer line from a home to the City’s main is the property owner’s responsibility, in the City’s own words. For water, the City states its maintenance staff’s job in general terms but never draws the same boundary.
If you are not sure where a blockage sits, Farmington’s own page says the City will work with you to identify the location. If it turns out to be your own line, the City’s page adds a practical note: many local plumbers provide this service. Call 952-521-0880.
See the full South Metro directory for how the other nine cities handle it, each in that city’s own words.
Open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Call 952-521-0880.
Plumbing in Farmington homes
The median Farmington home was built in 1998, according to US Census data. The City’s own 2040 land-use plan explains why: housing construction "peaked around 2003," with more than 5,100 units built across the 1990s and 2000s combined, over 60 percent of the city’s pre-2017 housing stock. Homes from that stretch are closing in on three decades old, an age where original shutoff valves and supply lines have earned a little suspicion.
Winter is still the stress test, regardless of the build year. Pipes in garages, rim joists, and other uninsulated spaces are the ones most at risk.
The City of Farmington has no water treatment plant at all. Hardness runs very hard.
Farmington also publishes a direct ban on dumping clear water (sump pump discharge, roof drainage, a foundation drain) into the sanitary sewer, plus a "Keep Your Toilet Bowl Lid Down" tip during its own seven-year sewer cleaning cycle, so odor and mist do not vent back into the house.
