Mr. Pat Klaers <br />April 4, 2001 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />C. ELK RIVER MUNICIPAL UTILITIES <br /> <br />1. Elevated Water Tower <br /> <br />As the City Council is aware, the Elk River Municipal Utilities have proceeded <br />with the design of a one million gallon elevated water tower. The Municipal <br />Utilities are dealing with the question about the proper location to construct an <br />elevated tower. Currently, it appears that the most likely location would be on <br />the Rick Foster property located about a quarter mile south of CSAH 12. This <br />property is immediately south of the Holzem property. As soon as the Elk <br />River Municipal Utilities can firm up the acquisition of the water tower site, they <br />will likely proceed with the bidding and construction of that tower. At this point <br />in time, the earliest the tower would be in service would be fall of 2002, and <br />may actually take until the spring of 2003. <br /> <br />2. Deep Well Construction <br /> <br />The Elk River Municipal Utilities are currently bidding a deep well project to be <br />located on Deschenes property adjacent to Tyler Street. Bids for this project <br />were opened on April 4, and will be considered by the Commission at their <br />April 10, 2001, meeting. It is anticipated that the construction of this well will <br />commence soon after that and be complete by the mid-summer of 2001. <br /> <br />3. Water Treatment Facility <br /> <br />The deep well on the Deschenes property will be followed by the design and <br />bidding of a water treatment facility to also be located on the Deschenes <br />property. It is anticipated that this project will be advertised for bids in the <br />summer of 2001, with construction beginning in the fall of 2001. The project <br />would not be complete and operational until the spring of 2002. <br /> <br />4. Perkins Area Watermain Extension <br /> <br />The Elk River Municipal Utilities will be opening bids for the construction of <br />some watermain from approximately the Perkins Restaurant area south under <br />Elk Hills Drive to approximately 8th Street. This watermain is needed to add <br />redundancy to the water system in this area for the anticipated conversion from <br />Iow pressure to high pressure service south of Elk Hills Drive. This is a rather <br />small construction project and should be easily completed by mid-summer. <br /> <br />D. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS <br /> <br />1. Rollinq Hills Addition <br /> <br />This is a cluster development in the extreme northeast corner of the City <br />involving approximately 120 acres. Construction was initiated on this project <br />last fall. The community septic system was completed and roads graded and <br />graveled. At this point, only a model home is constructed on the project. <br /> <br />O:\PRO,~30000M\0325\Ltr 04-~)~.~.¢~/~ Green Company <br /> <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br /> <br />
