The City of Rice was required to complete a water service line inventory for all water users with the City.  The inventory was conducted to identify if any lead or galvanized service lines exist within the City of Rice’s water system.   Through the review of building permits, construction record plans, in-person visits, and water meter replacements, the City has completed and submitted our service line materials inventory to the Minnesota Department of Health. The service line inventory is publicly available, and you can check the materials for your service line by visiting the Lead Inventory Tracking Tool (LITT) athttps://maps.umn.edu/LSL/ you may also contact the City Engineer at jeremy.mathiasen@stantec.com with related questions. As of 9/27/24, our City inventory contains 0 (zero) lead, 1 (one) galvanized requiring replacement, 207 (two hundred and seven) with unknown materials in the right of way (not in the home), and 552 confirmed non-lead service lines.  Thank you to everyone who assisted in the inventory process.
