About Saint Paul
Voters approved a rent stabilization ordinance in 2021 that generally caps yearly rent increases at 3 percent. The Metro Plant, which treats wastewater for about 1.8 million people, sits in Saint Paul along the Mississippi. Plumbing and gas permits are handled by the Department of Safety and Inspections.
Ten deep wells serve as a backup to the river supply. Minnesota's Cold Weather Rule limits heat shutoffs from October through April for households on a payment plan. Winter lows regularly drop below zero, and ice dams are a common problem on older roofs.
Many older houses still heat with boilers and radiators. Xcel Energy supplies both electricity and natural gas in Saint Paul.

Questions about St. Paul
Who supplies water in Saint Paul?
Saint Paul Regional Water Services draws mainly from the Mississippi River, moves it through a chain of lakes north of the city and treats it at the McCarrons plant. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from Xcel Energy and natural gas from Xcel Energy. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Saint Paul need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Department of Safety and Inspections, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
Does VendorReach do the work?
No. We are a referral service. We connect you with an independent local company, and they quote, schedule and complete the job.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
If you are not sure which trade fits your problem, call anyway and describe it. We will tell you if it sounds like a job for someone else.
