Per 7826.0100(A), municipal utilities aze <br />exempt from these requirements. However, the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />adopted a number of parts of this chapter as a Distribution Reliability Standard policy requiring <br />annual reporting on system reliability. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Even with the weather issues during 2011, our reliability index numbers aze excellent. These <br />reliability index numbers reflect the condition of our robust electrical system as well as the <br />superb response time from our local line crews. This also reflects the local accountability, long <br />term visioning on system design, and ongoing system maintenance.
