Elk River Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Chris Sumstad — Electric Superintendent MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: December 12, 2023 6.1f SUBJECT: Staff Update ACTION REQUESTED: None DISCUSSION: • Installed 17 new residential services, which involves the connection of a secondary line once the customer requests service. • The bore crew began replacing underground primary wire along 202nd Avenue in northwest Elk River. This is part of the same wire replacement area they have been working on along Rawlins Street, Pascal Drive, and 201St Avenue. • Crews rerouted approximately 800 feet of three phase underground primary at the landfill. The existing wire was in conflict with a building project planned there. • We extended three phase underground primary 1500 feet east along 2251h Avenue and north up Baldwin Street on the east side of Highway 169. This will serve the three phase needs at the Martin Marietta gravel pit located on the north side of the wind turbine. • Crews are currently working on installing the three phase service for the new Beaudry storage facility located on the north side of our West substation along County Road 1. • Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA) Safety Trainer Joe Schmidt was here on November 29 and held training on chemical safety and scissor lift operations for field staff. • Jay Reading from MMUA was here for a Job Training & Safety session on November 21. This training was for our line crews and covered personal protective grounding. • Carr's Tree Service returned on November 20 to continue their tree trimming. They will be working in our service area until the end of March. Page Iof2 187
