ELK RIVER MUNICIPAL UTILITIES <br /> <br /> 322 King Avenue <br />Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br />Phone (612) 441-2020 <br /> Fax (612) 441-8099 <br /> <br />14,1997 <br /> <br />To: Elk River City Council <br /> Hank Duitsman - Mayor <br /> John Diem. <br /> Daryl Thompson <br /> Larry Farber <br /> Roger Hokngren <br /> <br />From: Bryan C. Adams - General Manager <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities <br /> <br />Subject: Watermain Extension <br /> Highland Avenue <br /> <br /> The developments of Lafayette Woods and Nordic Woods will effect how the Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities operates the water distribution system. Because of the ground elevation of <br />these developments, they will ultimately be in the high pressure water zone in Elk River. As a <br />temporary measure, water pumping stations were made part of these two developments. These <br />water pumping stations take available water from the lower pressure zone and pressurize it to serve <br />the higher pressure zone of which these two developments are a part of. <br /> The long term solution is to fie this area into the already existing high pressure water zone. This <br />is accomplished by installing a water main along Proctor Avenue and Highland Road as shown on <br />the attached marked-up map. The proposed water main is highlighted in blue. This area will then <br />be pressurized with the "Hillside" water tower and the two water pressure stations will be then <br />used for emergency purposes only. A side benefit to this project is the opportunity to provide <br />adequate fire protection to Salk Junior High School. Financing this project will be through bonds. <br />Enclosed is Maier Stewart & Associates (MSA) letter dated 1-10-97 reflecting the costs. <br /> The Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission has authorized this project to be constructed this <br />year. MSA is doing the necessary design work. The water main is planned to be constructed on <br />the north side of Highland Avenue. As long as the Utilities will be disrupting this area for this <br />construction, does the City of Elk River have any desire to install sewer or sidewalk? Does the <br />City have any other requirements? <br /> If you have any questions about the above, do not hesitate to call. <br /> <br />cc: Pat Klaers <br /> Loft Johnson <br /> File <br /> <br /> <br />
