The City of Deerwood is pleased to announce it has received grant money from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to conduct a lead service line inventory, now required of all city water systems. A service line is the pipe connecting the water main to the interior plumbing of a building.
The City has partnered with engineering firm SEH to develop lead service line inventory, documenting the location and material of all service lines. There is no safe level of lead, and developing a lead service line inventory is the first step toward replacing any lead service lines in the City’s water system.
To help complete this required inventory, you have the option to either self-identify your own service line or allow City and SEH staff to inspect your service line. Letters were sent out with the scan code to identify your own service line.
If you prefer not to self-identify your service line, please call Michele Hayes at 218-461-1360 or Rochelle Nelson at 651-490-2100 to book your service line inspection. If you have any additional questions, contact SEH at LSLinventory@sehinc.com.
