Plumber in Corcoran, MN
West on County Road 30 or out 101 — twenty minutes from the shop on a normal day.
Corcoran is two service areas in one city. Maple Grove's plant serves part of it — the same 19 to 22 grain water. The rest is private well and septic, where hardness is usually higher and iron is a separate problem. Hennepin County administers septic here.
The water in Corcoran
Corcoran is split. Maple Grove's plant serves part of the city, which means that portion drinks the same 19 to 22 grain water. Much of the rest of Corcoran is on private wells, and well water out here is typically harder than city water — often with iron as a separate problem on top of hardness.
The housing stock here
Rural and semi-rural lots mixed with newer subdivisions along the developed edge. Older farmhouses out here can have decades of layered plumbing work in them, and we've seen three eras of pipe in one crawlspace.
Drains and sewer
A lot of Corcoran is on private septic, not sanitary sewer. Hennepin County administers the septic program here, and the City maintains its own septic-and-well information page for residents.
Permits and who issues them
Corcoran issues city permits for plumbing work, and septic work runs through Hennepin County's program. If your job touches the septic system, we'll tell you which authority it goes through before anything starts.

Knowing the ground
Out here the questions are different. It's not 'why is my water spotted,' it's 'why is my water orange and why did the pressure tank start short-cycling.' Well pressure tanks, iron filters, softeners sized for well water, and septic-friendly drain work make up most of what we do in Corcoran.

Questions we get from Corcoran homeowners
Am I on Maple Grove water or a private well in Corcoran?
Depends where in the city you are — Maple Grove's plant serves part of Corcoran and much of the rest is on private wells. If you get a monthly water bill from a utility, you're on city water. If you don't, you're on a well.
Is well water harder than city water out here?
Usually, yes. And well water often brings iron along with the hardness, which is a separate problem needing separate equipment. A softener alone won't fix orange staining — we test before we recommend anything.
