They will be back in the spring to dig up the discharge pipe and do some dress up work. <br /> The excavator did a very nice job. <br /> Eric Volk gave a recap on the private hydrant program. After sending out letters to the private <br /> hydrant owners last November,we increased the amount of private hydrants we service from <br /> 129 to 159. We are now servicing 159 of the 205 private hydrants we have inventoried. In <br /> addition,we annually service and maintain another 200 of our own hydrants. It has been a big <br /> increase in workload for the water operators considering we were doing minimal maintenance <br /> just a few years ago.John Dietz asked if we made a profit on the private hydrant program. Eric <br /> Volk responded that at a minimum we break even. It's more of a value added public service. <br /> There was further discussion. <br /> 6.2 Set Date for Next Meeting <br /> The next regularly scheduled Commission meeting will be cancelled due to a scheduling <br /> conflict,and a special meeting will be held on March 17,2015. <br /> Page 5 <br /> Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> February 10,2015 <br />
