Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> ERMU Commission Mark Fuchs— Electric Superintendent <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> July 9, 2019 6.1c <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> None <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Had 9 new house services. <br /> • Continue collecting data with the GPS for our ArcView maps as time permits. <br /> • Continued rebuilding the three phase overhead line on Jarvis Street between 165th <br /> Avenue and Highway 10. <br /> • Continue installing the infrastructure required for the acquisition of Area 7. We will be <br /> acquiring Areas 7 and 8 in September. <br /> • Continue going through the new GIS map book and verifying that it matches what is in <br /> the field. As part of this process the equipment is inspected and repairs are made as <br /> needed. <br /> • We started moving the underground and overhead infrastructure for the construction of <br /> roundabouts at County Road 13 and 33 and at County Road 13 and 40. <br /> • We tested the oil in 62 Cooper switchgears for moisture levels, inspected the electronic <br /> controls for corrosion, and made sure there were no cracks in the lid. As we have had <br /> problems in the past with defective gaskets allowing moisture into the switchgears, the <br /> manufacturer recommended taking oil samples more frequently to monitor the <br /> situation. <br /> • We bored in some single phase underground primary wire for an additional service at <br /> 10137 209th Avenue. <br /> • Michels Pipeline is working on the joint trench for the Nantucket Shores Addition in <br /> Otsego, which consists of 13 lots. For this project we'll be replacing the overhead single <br /> phase tap line on Nantucket Avenue with underground. <br /> • We started installing the underground infrastructure for the Lawatsch Farms Addition, <br /> which consists of 10 lots. This addition is located in the middle of an older development, <br /> with infrastructure that needs to be rebuilt, so we will be rebuilding the single phase <br /> overhead on Pascal Street, Troy Street, and 189th Avenue. <br /> • At the Waco 1 Substation we changed out one of the three 69kv vacuum bottles on the <br /> circuit switcher that had a slow leak. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> 121 <br />
