Sandbagging

Sandbagging:

Madelia residents may obtain sandbags from Total Lawn & Landscape, located at 660 Haynes Ave NE.

  • Enter on the first entrance that states employee entrance. There will be cones that will direct you to the correct bunker to fill the sand bags. It will be the homeowner’s responsibility to fill their own sand bags. 
  • You must use the clipboard in the mailbox next to the bunker and record how many sandbags you take. You do not need to come into the office to get your sandbags. If you have any questions please call or text Dustin at (507) 327 0050
The City of Madelia does not provide or distribute sandbags to individual properties at risk of flooding. The prime responsibility for the prevention and protection of private property from flood damage rests solely with the owner of the property. Talk with your homeowner’s insurance agent to make sure you are covered for natural disasters before they happen.

The sand and sandbags are intended to be used to restrict flood waters from entering houses or buildings via doorways and garages and entryways. Sandbag structures DO NOT prevent water seepage through walls/foundations etc, and therefore should be built with the central purpose of diverting flood water around or away from buildings. The sandbags are not provided or intended to be used to provide a barrier around houses or property.

Depending on where the property is located, and the impact and the warning time of flooding, moving, or raising valuable items to avoid water damage may be the most practical option to protect property. 

THE SANDBAGS ARE THE PROPERTY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF RESIDENTS. RESIDENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO RETURN THE SANDBAGS TO THE CITY/TOTAL LAWN & LANDSCAPE, AND ARE RESPONSILBE FOR PROPER DISPOSING OF.
