    • Utility Billing

      Utility-billingThe City of Rogers utility billing provides billing for Rogers water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer systems, along with recycling and a basic charge which is based on meter size. Residential customers are billed every other month, and Commercial customers are billed monthly.

      Properties are billed for water based on usage.  We bill in per thousand gallon units, example if your usage reads 6 you used 6 thousand gallons of water for that billing cycle.

      The sewer is based on your 2 month winter reading (December - January or January - February depending on which bill cycle you are in) and set for the entire year. If you are gone for the months that we average your sewer, we will take a percent of your total average usage for the year. This way you are not paying sewer on water that you use outside during the summer (i.e. to fill pools, irrigation, watering plants, washing vehicles), you will also pay a base charge for sewer in the amount of $2.08 per month.

      The recycling charge is a flat fee which is charged to every residence in the city. It is your choice to recycle or not, however this fee cannot be removed from your bill if you chose to not recycle.  

      The storm sewer fee is different from the sanitary sewer in that it is the fee for water that runs off (water that travels thru the storm sewer system or drainage ponds).

  • Sustainability

    Floating Aerator

    The concept of sustainable development was most classically defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987 as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."  Since then, the term "Sustainability" has been defined in varying ways, but normally centers on 3 core values – Economy, Society, and Environment.  

    For the City of Rogers, working towards sustainability means operating more efficiently, saving money and energy, reducing pollution, and planning for the future.  The City's Public Works department has already taken a number of steps to become more sustainable and is constantly looking for new ways to improve efficiency while benefiting residents, the local economy, and environmental resources.

  • History

    hassan-historical-map
    Settlement in 1854 by European immigrants brought about major changes in the landscape of what is now Rogers. Originally, as part of the "Big Woods", the areas was heavily timbered with oak, elm, basswood, ash, and maple. Large areas of marshland also existed. As settlers arrived, the woods were cleared and the land was tilled for farmstead construction and crop production.

    Early on, small trade centers, known as hamlets, emerged in Hassan Township to serve the needs of the settlers. The hamlet of Hassan was first settled in 1854 and then organized in 1860 along Territorial Road in Section 21. Between 1854 and 1881, Hassan contained a clustering of houses, a post office, St. John's Episcopal Church, a school and a town hall. Today, an altered school, a church and Hassan town hall remain.

    Although not the earliest settlement, Fletcher, originally named St. Walburga by German immigrants, has become the most notable. It stands at the intersection of Territorial Road and County Road 116 (Fletcher Lane) in Rogers. Fletcher is considered to be the "finest example of a traditional crossroads hamlet in Hennepin County" and is eligible to become a historic district by the Minnesota Historical Society.

    Territorial Road crosses over a series of ridges, including a section that includes the highest point in Hennepin County. It was authorized by the Territorial Legislature in 1855 and identified as the "first legitimate outlet" for this section of Hennepin County. Through the years, it became a major transportation route for Hassan Township and surrounding communities "because it was maintained and it provided relatively easy access to Minneapolis markets." (Hennepin History Museum; 1995).
