and the City of Elk River have been partners in promoting our community as Energy City. The <br /> City of Elk River received this designation in 1997 from the State Legislature because of its <br /> commitment to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and community- based sustainable living <br /> practices. <br /> ERMU focuses on audiences that include business groups, local residents, local governments, <br /> other electric utilities, and area youth organizations. These outreach and educational <br /> opportunities are delivered during presentations to students at area demonstration sites, <br /> including a landfill gas electric generation facility(3.2 MW), an environmental education center, <br /> wind turbine (.66 MW), and LEED certified buildings. <br /> Autonomously governed from the city, the Elk River Municipal Utilities commission consists of <br /> five board members appointed by the Elk River City Council. ERMU provides electric services to <br /> 11,983 customers and water services to 5,140 customers located in the communities of Elk <br /> River, Otsego, Dayton, and Big Lake Township. In addition, ERMU bills and collects payments for <br /> city services including garbage, recycling, organics, sewer, storm water, and franchise fees. <br /> 2018 Elk River Municipal Utilities <br /> Statistics <br /> Electric Number of <br /> Customer Segments Energy kWh <br /> Customers <br /> Residential 10,422 95,811,134 <br /> Commercial 1,333 29,289,955 <br /> Industrial 228 206,022,922 <br /> Total 11,983 331,124,011 <br /> Electric Peak Day Demand 66.4 MW <br /> Water Customer Segments Number of Gallons of <br /> Customers water <br /> Residential 4,536 356,279,000 <br /> Comm./Industrial 604 376,008,000 <br /> 5,140 732,287,000 <br /> 4 <br /> 43 <br />
