Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Eric Volk - Water Superintendent <br /> John Dietz—Chair <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> December 17, 2013 6.1E <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Delivered 8 new residential water meters and 1 new commercial water meter. <br /> • Completed 25 BACTUTotal Chlorine Residual Samples; all confirmed negative for <br /> Coliform Bacteria. <br /> • Completed daily fluoride samples. All samples met EPA standards. <br /> • Completed 4 Total Trihalomethanes/Haloacetic Acids (TTHM/HAA5) samples. <br /> • Well #4 has been pulled for routine maintenance. The motor and pump required some <br /> extensive rebuilding and it was decided that it was cheaper to buy a new motor and <br /> pump. There were also 2 sections of pipe that needed to be replaced due to holes in the <br /> pipe. The televising went well with only 2 feet of sediment having collected at the bottom <br /> since it was televised 8 years ago. <br /> • Angela has been working to organize and catalog all of the utility maps so we can get a <br /> good count of what we have and what we need to obtain. These maps will eventually be <br /> scanned and attached to the Bolton and Menk GIS WebApp. <br /> • Pete has been inventorying curbstop ties and identifying what addresses we are missing. <br /> It has been discovered that 803 curbstop ties were missing. Pete has already started to <br /> locate and get ties for the ones we are missing. 34 of the 803 have been completed. <br /> • Once the weather turned cold making it harder to work outside, Pete has been sanding <br /> and painting various parts of the filtration system at Well#6. <br /> • Since Well #4 has been down for pump maintenance, the filter has been recharged and is <br /> good for another year of iron and manganese removal. <br /> • Jennie has sent out the second and final round of letters to businesses who have private <br /> hydrants on their property. We currently have 37 of 78 businesses signed up which <br /> constitutes 95 of 191 total private hydrants. <br /> • Our Department of Labor and Industry(DLI) Safety grant was approved and the Hydrant <br /> Buddy has been purchased. We are currently waiting to get '/ of the money back from the <br /> DLI. <br /> rAURE trEr�� Page l of l ' <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P P O W E R E D T o S F e a r <br /> 84 <br />
