How does water and sewer service work in Cottagewood?

Water and sewer service in Cottagewood works differently than most Lake Minnetonka communities. The City of Deephaven provides sewer services — new residents can set up an account by calling 952-474-4755. However, the majority of Cottagewood homes are served by private wells rather than municipal water. Well owners are responsible for testing their water regularly to ensure safety. A minority of homes in the neighborhood are connected to Deephaven city water and are billed quarterly by the city. Buyers should confirm whether a specific property uses well or city water before closing.
