About

Culligan Rice Lake

Jim Luedtke started his water treatment career while working in the family plumbing business in Jefferson, WI. He attended school at UW-La Crosse and worked at the local Culligan dealership there from 1980-85. In 1985, Jim moved his family to Rice Lake, when he purchased the assets of the Culligan business from Eau Claire Culligan. The purchase included two route books and 82 rental accounts, no building, trucks or inventory. Jim was the sole employee of the business for three years before hiring his first part-time employee in 1987.

In 1994, an opportunity arose to purchase the neighboring Culligan dealership in Milltown. Today, our 12 employees provide service to Barron, Polk, Rusk, Sawyer and Washburn counties. Our dealership is located in Rice Lake at 2200 Pioneer Ave. We service our 10,000 customers from our modern building and dispatch our trucks to each county daily.

For over 65 years, Culligan's mission has been to deliver high-quality water treatment products that will benefit every part of our customers' lives. We hope to raise the quality of life by purifying its most essential element: water.

We've seen about every water problem imaginable and we've solved these problems to deliver the refreshing, clean and pure water that's become our hallmark. Free of contaminants and minerals, water treated with Culligan softeners or filtration systems will make an impression on you and your household or work.
