Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities <br />UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: FROM: <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission David Berg- Water Superintendent <br />John Dietz, Chair <br />Da 1 Thom son, Trustee <br />MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />Janu 112011 StaffU dates <br />SUBJECT: <br />Cold water shut off valves <br />DISCUSSION: <br />In December I was called out for a water break to one of the Trout Brooks condominiums. This <br />unit has only one main valve street side and the valve for individual shut offs in each of the private <br />units. This poses a problem since we do not have access into the private townhome unit and they <br />run the risk of water lines freezing. The Elk River Police were called because the home was <br />abandoned and the only way in was to break the door down. After breaking the door I was able to <br />get the water off. I told Tom Koler, the association manager that each shut off should be in the <br />utility room in order to resolve fwther issues of this magnitude. Tom agreed and called back to see <br />if the Utilities would give any water credit in place of the cost for the change of plumbing. <br />
