~i <br />Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />June 16, 2008 <br />To: Lori Johnson, City Administrator <br />From: Bryan Adams, Elk River Municipal Utilities. General Manager ~~. <br />Subject: Trunk Water Line under 193`d Ave. Extension <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax- 763.441.8099 <br />At the June 10, 2008 Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, we discussed the trunk <br />water line under the 193`d Avenue road extension. Unknown to me, this item was also discussed <br />at the June 2, 2008 -City Council meeting. <br />In review, the trunk water system for eastern Elk River (north of 175th Ave., east of Co. Rd. 13), <br />the 193`d Avenue trunk water main will be the last trunk water main necessary to serve this area. <br />As the Elk River Municipal Utilities adds wells to this area, we will be tying the wells and <br />associated mains to the trunk system. As the City expands, the urban service district southeast <br />along Hwy 10, obviously more trunk water mains will be required and funded with additional <br />trunk assessments. <br />As was stated at our Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, a good compromise <br />would be for the City to pay for the trunk water main expansion under 193 `d Avenue at an <br />approximate cost of $250,000 and the Elk River Municipal Utilities would pay to tie the system <br />together on the east end (east of Co. Rd. 13) at an approximate cost of $100,000. <br />It is also my understanding, you will be tapping this 193`d Avenue trunk water line for irrigating <br />the medians on the roadway. <br />
