Elk River Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 430 Elk River,MN 55330 (763) 441-2020 UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Mark Fuchs—Line Superintendent John Dietz, Chair Daryl Thompson, Vice Chair Allan Nadeau, Trustee MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: June 12, 2012 6.1 SUBJECT: Staff Update DISCUSSION: • Continue working on converting Meadowvale Rd. from 2400 volts to 7200 volts. Started boring in new wire that needed to be placed for the job. • Had two new house services. • Finished changing out our overhead cutouts and fuses until this winter. Continue going through checking padmount transformers and padmount switch gear making sure nothing is leaking, the proper tags are in place, the map book matches the tags, and all the warning stickers are on the outside. • Working on changing out some of our pad mounted fused cabinets. We have to change these out because they do not handle the fault current. • Worked with Rike-Lee Electric to place new underground secondary and remove the overhead secondary and a pole that was in the way for the downtown parking lot. Also put wire in for the parking lot lights and service. • Lightening hit a riser pole in the industrial park off of Co. Rd. 1. This caused the feeder to open and when they tried to reenergize the feeder, they found a bad blade on the riser pole by the West Sub. • I was an instructor at the MMUA Underground School. MMUA had very good attendance at the school. Chris Sumstad and Matt Schwartz also attended the school. • Shane DeFayter put in his two week notice. His last day of work will be June 13. He will be going to work for Xcel Energy. RPrvOWEAEO BY 3 m NATURE Reliable Public POWEREO To SERVE Power Provider
