Water hardness level in Frazee is 19 grains.
"In scientific terms, water hardness is generally the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in water. But in layman's terms, you may notice water hardness when your hands still feel slimy after washing with soap and water, or when your drinking glasses at home become less than crystal clear. Learn a lot more about water hardness on the Water Science School site." - courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey website.
The Frazee wastewater treatment facility consists of 3-9 acre aerated ponds, 15 feet deep each. The ponds discharge water into 6-3 acre rapid infiltration basins. The facility has a design flow of 645,000 gallons per day and is currently at 1/4th of its capacity and is located on Old Highway 10, east of town near US Highway 10.
The City of Frazee is committed to recycling.
Why am I being charged a recycling fee?
Minnesota State Statutes require municipalities to provide their residents an opportunity to recycle. Frazee accomplishes this through a curbside recycling contract which provides residents the ability to recycle. The current contract is with Steve’s Sanitation.
Recycling is beneficial for the environment, the economy and our community. All households are billed for recycling, regardless of whether they choose to participate or not. This reduces or eliminates potential disincentives for not recycling. Again, as a municipality, we are charged with ensuring that residents have an opportunity to recycle although residents are not required to utilize it.
Why am I being charged a storm water fee?
This fee was started back in 2008. The City needs to maintain the storm water system, which includes infrastructure such as ditches and holding ponds throughout the City. This fee helps offset the cost of that maintenance. Every property owner within the City is charged this fee, despite whether you are connected to the City’s water/sewer system. The storm water fee takes into consideration a property’s run off from rain water and snow melt. This also helps pay for the cleaning of Streets. Street cleaning helps keep sand, salt, leaves and waste out of our storm water system.
What are my options for payments?
Cash, check, and ACH payments are accepted. Customers may choose to: 1.) Mail in their check payments to PO Box 387, Frazee, MN 56544, 2.)Drop off check payments in the drop box located on East side of City Hall, 3.) Drop off check or cash payments at the reception desk. Another option is to sign up for Automatic Bill payments- customers may find this form by visiting the city's website. The City Office is located at 222 Main Ave W. Hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 8:00AM- 6:00PM, Friday - closed.

* April 1st through September WEATHER PERMITTING
The compost site has a building for oil recycling which is open on Tuesdays from 5PM-7PM during summer months only.
There are 2 main compost piles:
**No Plastics Allowed**
Directions: From the four way stop sign near All-in-All, head north until you reach the Frazee High School. Turn left just before the Frazee High School, go straight through the next 2 stop signs. After the 2nd stop sign you will be heading out of Frazee on highway 29. The compost site will be on your right site not more than 1/2 mile out of town.
The building near the pond is the Blower Station. Inside are 4 - 150 horsepower blowers used to aerate the ponds. To those who are not familiar to wastewater treatment facilities, you might find it interesting to know that there is no odor at this site. Because of the way it is engineered, the odor is trapped below the surface water. With all of the surface water, the treatment facility attracts a fair amount of wildlife.
