The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) to protect public health and reduce exposure to lead in drinking water. The most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes and brass or bronze faucets and fixtures. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), as mandated by the EPA, has recently required water systems to maintain and report an inventory of service line materials.
Medina has completed and submitted our service line materials inventory to the MDH.
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) at https://maps.umn.edu/LSL/. You may also contact us in Public Works at 763-473-8842.
As of 10/18/2024, our inventory contains all non-lead service lines.
