UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO:FROM: ERMU Commission Chris Sumstad– Electric Superintendent MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: January 11, 2022 6.1h SUBJECT: Staff Update ACTION REQUESTED: None DISCUSSION: Installed 21 new residential services, which involves the connection of a secondary line once the customer requests service. All underground line that has been installed this past year for the Highway 169 Redefine project is terminated and energized. Crews will concentrate on tearing down old overhead wire along the east and west sides of Highway169 this winter. Underground installation work will begin again at a few locations in the spring of 2022. Crews energized the new field service building transformer and finished the new underground primary loop around the houses near the plant. Crews will be tearing down the overhead wire across from the plant that runs along Main Street and goes up to Highway 10. Staff is working on finishing the installation of new infrastructure in the Miske Meadows thth and 8developments and Parrish Meadows housing developments. These will be the 7 installed during the past year. Crews are performing annual maintenance on equipment as time allows. Crews worked with the meter shop to de-energize Station 14 Bank 4 and replace the substation metering equipment. Crews also noticed that the jumpers off of the substation transformerneeded to be replaced. There were relatively few outages in the month of December. Some streetlights were struck by vehicles during snow events, but nothing more serious. I am working on putting together the crew schedule to attend the upcoming Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association trainings for 2022. Personnel usually attend one training annually on a rotating basis to catch a different topic each year. ______________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 of 1 145
