Where Trout Run Preserve is
The City of Savage's 2040 Comprehensive Plan places Trout Run Preserve at the northwest corner of Highway 13 and County Road 16. It says the area was developed by mixing high, medium and low density residential unit types.
That mix matters for plumbing. In one small area you can find single-family homes, townhomes and apartment-style buildings, and each has a different answer to the question of who owns which pipe.
Who owns what in a mixed-density area
In a single-family home the shutoff, water heater and drains are usually yours. In a townhome or a building run by an association, some lines and fixtures may belong to the association and some to you. Read your association documents first, or ask your manager.
When you call us, say whether you own, rent or manage the unit. That one detail changes who approves the work and who pays, and it keeps a small repair from turning into a dispute.

Water heaters and hard water
The city's water supply plan says Savage draws groundwater from eight wells and can receive treated water from Burnsville through an interconnect. It does not state a hardness figure. We cover the numbers that are published on our water softener and filtration page, and a simple test kit at your tap is the honest way to know.
Scale builds on heating elements and tank bottoms where water is hard. If your tank rumbles or runs out fast, start with water heater repair. If it is near the end of its life, see water heater replacement.
Calls we expect in a mixed-density area
- A water heater that is noisy, slow to recover or leaking at the base. We check the tank, the relief valve and the venting before we talk about replacing it.
- A toilet that runs, a faucet that drips or a shutoff valve that will not close. See toilet repair and faucet repair for the usual causes.
- A drain that clogs in one fixture only, which points to the branch line, or in several at once, which points to the main.
- A unit where you are not sure whether the problem is yours or the association's. Call us first and we help you sort out what to ask.
Leaks and public water work nearby
The city's capital plan lists a water distribution improvement at County Road 16, Highway 13 and 126th Street, budgeted for 2025. We do not know its schedule or status, so ask City of Savage Utility Services at 952-224-3440 if you see work in the street.
If water looks cloudy or pressure changes while crews work nearby, tell the city. If you find a wet spot, a stained ceiling or a bill that climbs, our leak detection work checks the meter first. A line problem between the street and the house is covered on our water service line repair page.
