Adams <br /> Subject: Water Point of Service <br /> The ERMU Water Rules, Section 103, Water Service Repairs, states the following: <br /> Repair Responsibility: Maintenance or repair , of the service from and including <br /> the main stop cock to the premises remains the responsibility of the property <br /> owner. <br /> Water service repairs or renewals that become necessary will be made by a <br /> licensed plumber at the expense of the property owner. <br /> Whenever it becomes necessary to repair or replace a broken or defective water <br /> pipe running from the main in the street to the meter, the said broken or defective <br /> water pipe is not of copper or cast iron construction, it shall be replaced by <br /> copper tubing. Type K one (1) inch minimum size. <br /> Leak Repair: When a leak develops on a customer's service, it shall be repaired <br /> as soon as possible If repairs have not been completed within a reasonable time <br /> as determined by the Elk River Municipal Utilities, the water will be shut off. <br /> During the week of May 28, 2001, a water customer at 1205 0 Street NW had a water <br /> leak on his water service. Unfortunately, the resident did not have enough money to pay <br /> for the necessary repairs. It was agreed to make the necessary repair and the cost of the <br /> work would be assessed to his property taxes. The ERMU actually pays the cost of <br /> repairs and we will be reimbursed annually through the tax assessment. Attached for <br /> your reference is a petition for local improvement.
