**MANDATORY LEAD SERVICE LINE SURVEY REQUIRED FOR ALL PROCTOR UTILITIES WATER CUSTOMERS**
Proctor Public Utilities received a $75,000 grant from the MN Dept. of Health for a comprehensive lead service line inventory, as mandated for all municipal water systems. This critical initiative aims to identify and address potential lead hazards in Proctor’s water infrastructure.
A service line consists of the pipe linking the water main to the internal plumbing of a structure. Given there no safe thresholds for lead exposure, the development of a lead service line inventory is the mandatory first step towards the eventual replacement of any lead-containing service lines within Proctor’s water system. Residents of Proctor are integral to the success of this endeavor.
In collaboration with engineering firm SEH, the City will compile a detailed lead service line inventory. This process involves identification and documentation of service line locations and materials.
To streamline the inventory process, individuals have two options:
1. They may opt to self-identify their service line or authorize PPU and SEH personnel to conduct an inspection. Correspondence containing information and a scan code for the self-identification survey will be sent to all residents whose homes were built before 1985.
♦ To self-identify your own service line, go to https://arcg.is/1b01jy1
2. For homeowners who prefer not to self-identify their service line, an appointment can be scheduled online (https://bit.ly/4dw43Ov) for a service technician to visit homes the week of May 15th and June 7th .
Finally, alternative arrangements can be made by contacting Proctor Public Utilities (218) 624-4055 or tarnold@proctormn.gov.
