<br /> <br />ELK RIVER MUNICIPAL UTILITIES <br /> <br />322 King Avenue <br />Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br />Phone (763) 441-2020 <br />Fax (763) 441-8099 <br /> <br />October 31, 2000 <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Future Water Production and Storage Facilities <br /> <br /> <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission' <br />John Dietz <br />James Tralle <br />George Zabee <br /> <br />From: Bryan C. Adams <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Staff continues to be active in siting a location for Well #7 and a Water Storage facility; <br />Well #7 will not. be needed until the 2003 time frame. Due to the change of the high <br />pressure water zone boundaries that will soon include the eastern area, an additional <br />water tower will be required by the Summer of 2002. Due to the backlog of water tower <br />work by tower fabricators and erectors, we will need to award a water tower construction <br />contract by December, 2000 or no later than January, 2001. Construction would start in <br />the Fallof200I, with painting in Spring of2002. <br /> <br />Enclosed is the following information for your review: <br />1) Proposed site plan for Well #7 at the Intersection of Co. Rd. 13 and the new Tyler <br />St. <br />2) Site plan of the Trott Brook Development area indicating the six possible <br />locations being considered for a water tower. <br />3) Detail site plan of area #5 which is the recommended location by Elk River City <br />Staff and approved by Elk River Park and Recreation Commission. <br />4) Minutes of October 11, 2000 Park and Recreation Commissions Item 9C.2 <br />Discuss Placement of Water Tower in Hillside City Park. <br /> <br />Due to the tight bid schedule for the proposed water tower, I have taken the liberty of <br />getting soil borings at "Site 5", Trott Brook Park. The initial results indicate the site is <br />suitable to support a water tower on conventional spread footings. Terry Maurer has <br />indicated the cost to prepare bid documents is not to exceed $25,000. <br /> <br /> <br />1'I1!1 <br />I'''' <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />StatY asks for authorization to present the well and water tower location to the City <br />Council and secure the locations for these future facilities. Authorization is also <br />requested to secure bids for the water tower to be awarded at the December, 2000 <br />commission meeting. <br /> <br />. <br />
