The City of Rice is closing public access to City facilities effective at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17th, 2020.
This includes City Hall, Lions Building and the Old Village Hall. This will be in effect until June 1st , 2020 at which point the City will re-evaluate the plan moving forward. Essential public safety services will continue, and our public safety personnel will follow their own set of protocol for responses. City Hall employees will continue to serve the public via phone or email, and we can assist in payments being made online or via our City Hall drop box.
It is our goal to react to the COVID-19 events with responsibility but not panic. Operations will continue and we are simply looking for effective ways to protect our employees and the community while still providing the best service level possible.
We appreciate the community’s support and patience.If you have any question or need immediate assistance please call Julie at 320-393-2280 or jfandel@ricemn.us.
Please DO NOT flush disposable wipes, cloth towels, or sanitary napkins etc. in the sewer system. This causes an increase in back-ups in the system. Back –ups result in increased costs and maintenance, and ultimately higher sewer rates. Thank you for your cooperation!
