��i <br />Elk River , <br />Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />ERMU Commission <br />Dave Ninow —Water Superintendent <br />MEETING DATE: <br />AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />July 9, 2024 <br />6.1h <br />SUBJECT: <br />Staff Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None <br />DISCUSSION: <br />• Delivered 7 new water meters, installed a Smart Point radio transceiver module, and <br />took curb stop ties. <br />• Completed 20 BACTI/Total Chlorine Residual Samples. <br />o All confirmed negative for Coliform Bacteria. <br />o Bacteriological/Disinfectant Residual Monthly Report submitted to the MDH. <br />• Completed 19 routine fluoride samples. <br />o All samples met MDH standards. <br />o Submitted MDH Fluoride Report. <br />• Submitted Discharge Monitoring Report to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for <br />the Diesel Generation Plant. <br />• Assisting Allegiant staff with issues that have come up in exchanging water meters for <br />the Advanced Metering Infrastructure project has taken up a fair amount of water <br />department staff's time. <br />• Cargill staff have expressed interest in connecting their new feed mill building to city <br />water and sewer services. They have been directed to submit a plan for ERMU and City <br />staff to review. <br />• We discovered a leak in the raw water main pipe running from Well 9 to the water <br />treatment plant for Wells 7 and 9. The leak, which was at the connection point between <br />the pipe and a valve located in the driveway to Well 9, was excavated and repaired. <br />With the assistance of our own bore rig staff, we took advantage of having the effluent <br />pipe from Well 8 exposed to install a water service line and sample tap. This allows staff <br />to collect water samples for quality testing there instead of having to take them from <br />fire hydrants along the road. <br />• Water Department staff have been working on preventative maintenance for fire <br />hydrants and repairing issues identified during flushing. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• May 2024 Pumping by Well <br />• June 2024 Pumping by Well <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />179 <br />
