~/ ~~ <br />Elk River -~ <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />October 7, 2008 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subj: Three Phase Line Extension <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />A church in Otsego is proposing to build a new facility on County Road #39 at the west end of <br />our electric system. The location of this facility is currently served with singe phase power while <br />the new church requires three phase power. To provide three phase power to this facility will <br />necessitate burying approximately 2,500 feet of conductor at an estimated cost of: <br />Line extension $45,000 <br />3Q) J-boxes for future customers $13,000 <br />Church service $16,000 <br />TOTAL $74,000 <br />The question at hand is what to we charge this customer to extend three phase power. Our <br />current policy states: <br />"COST OF EXTENSION DEFINED: The construction cost shall include all the costs of <br />materials and labor and all other expenses incurred in the installation of poles, wire, cross arms, <br />insulators, line hardware, switching and protective devices, meters, appurtenances, right-of--way <br />permits and all other items of labor and materials incident to the construction of the extension. <br />TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ELECTRIC SERVICES: The Elk River Municipal Utilities <br />Board of Commissioners shall make the determination as the feasibility of all electrical distribu- <br />tion line extension petitions." <br />For a commercial developer, per our policy, we typically charge 50% to extend service from <br />source of power to the building. <br />
