Elk River Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission David Berg— Water Superintendent John Dietz—Chair Al Nadeau — Vice Chair Daryl Thompson —Trustee MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: October 8, 2013 6.1 SUBJECT: Staff Update DISCUSSION: Pete has been working on locating gate valves. There seems to be a lot of valves that have been covered by blacktop and some have been covered with dirt over the years by road construction. Pete also has been working with Bolten & Menk to assist the GPS contractor in locating the remaining couple hundred valves, which reduces contracting time. Angela has been working with costumers on commercial irrigation rebates. She has finished painting hydrants and will now be doing hydrant and valve repairs with Pete. Angela has also been doing many well maintenance tasks, assisting the electric department with GPS work, and changing out some of the last few remaining commercial meters. Eric and Kelly have finished the final inspection at the Freeport tower and have made sure that everything was done to spec. The street projects are just about finished. Eric is checking to make sure the valves that were in the road have not been left covered with blacktop - so far five valves were under the blacktop. Sprint is working on the installation of their new antennas. Eric and KLM work with Sprint to make sure that the installation goes smoothly. He is also finishing the private hydrant inventory and there are about 192 private hydrants that need to be on a maintenance and paint schedule. • We have received the results from our Lead and Copper test.
