LEAD SERVICE LINE REPORT
The City of Silver Lake 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) at https://maps.umn.edu/LSL/. You may also contact us at Silver Lake City Hall for a paper copy or go to https://www.cityofsilverlake.org/public-works and click on the Lead Service Line report. To complete the service line inventory our system used the information received when remote water meters were installed in each home in Silver Lake in 2013. As of 8/30/2024, our inventory contains 0 lead, 0 galvanized requiring replacement, 272 unknown material, and 113 non-lead service lines.
