Box 430 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> (763) 441-2020 <br /> UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission David Berg—Water Superintendent <br /> John Dietz, Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson, Vice Chair <br /> Allan Nadeau, Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> October 9, 2012 6.1 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> In August, the motor in Well 6 shorted out and stopped working. I had two options to fix it: Send <br /> it to the manufacturer in California to repair it, but it could have taken up to two months to fix <br /> and we would have gotten the same motor back, or the second option was to buy a new motor <br /> and be able to get the well up and running within two weeks. The cost difference between the <br /> two options was only about $1,000 more to buy new because the shipping and handling was so <br /> expensive to California. I chose to spend the extra to buy a new motor and get the well back up <br /> and running as soon as possible. <br /> POWERED IT <br /> Reliable Public <br /> ¢ INATUP <br /> Power Provider POWERED To SERVE <br />
