Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities <br />Memorandum <br />To: Elk River Utilities Commission <br />Jdui Dietz <br /> <br />~~ <br />From: David Berg <br />Reviewed By: Terry Maurer <br />Date: 11/5/2009 <br />Subject: Winter Water Shut Offs -Foreclosure Tax Assessments <br />With winter approaching we attempted to shut off several water services and were unable <br />to do so. We then tried to make contact with property managers and could not reach <br />anyone. Three excavating companies turned in bids to fix the curbstops. Moores <br />Excavating Inc. from Big Lake had the low bid. They have now repaired the services and <br />the properties have their water shut off. The fees will be assessed on the property taxes <br />for the future resident to pay. With this proactive stance on water shutoffs, we are <br />hopeful that our community will see a lessened occurrence of property damage to vacant <br />homes. <br />
