In the process of making these changes, we found other areas that also <br />needed to be updated. Attached is the complete Water Rules section for your review. <br />The other major changes that we made are as follows. <br />a) Change 322 King Ave. to 13069 Orono Parkway. <br />b) Section 102 under Residential Home Builder/Owner; revise g & h to reflect <br />that utility personnel will be inspecting and sealing meter. <br />c) Section 102 under Commercial/Industrial Developer: <br />i) Paragraph 1-add 2" and larger meters will require a by-pass loop. <br />ii) Paragraph n - to reflect that utility personnel will be inspecting and <br />sealing meter. <br />d) Section 103, second paragraph was modified to read: Water service repairs or <br />renewals that become necessary will be made by a licensed plumber at the <br />expense of the property owner. Utility staff may provide property owner a list <br />of licensed plumber to do emergency repairs. If owner can not make repairs, <br />water may be shut off or Water Utility may make the necessary repairs and the <br />charge for such work will be made under a special assessment against the <br />property concerned. Such assessment, including interest at the legal rate for <br />local improvements, shall be certified to the County Auditor and collected and <br />remitted to the City in the same manner as assessments for local <br />improvements. The rights of the Elk River Municipal Utilities/City under this <br />paragraph shall be in addition to other remedial or enforcement rights <br />provided by the City Code of Ordinances or other applicable law. (Acloptecl ~lprir <br />1 q 2001 by the Utilities' Commission) <br />The language on Water Utility making repairs and cost assess to property has been <br />previously authorized but not included in water rules. <br />
