Per 7826.0100(A), municipal utilities are <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 2012, our reliability index numbers are 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. The table below reflects the <br /> number of customer outage minutes from 2003 through 2012. <br /> Year # of Customers # of Outage Minutes # of Outages <br /> 2003 7193 39,285 54 <br /> 2004 7773 393,926 84 <br /> 2005 8398 558,140 59 <br /> 2006 8804 314,510 73 <br /> 2007 9163 67,845 47 <br /> 2008 9067 155,768 57 <br /> 2009 9170 46,706 49 <br /> 2010 9207 526,144 77 <br /> 2011 9576 297,359 51 <br /> 2012 9285 71,496 57 <br /> tiri <br /> £ 0IEEB Br <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> �NATURE� <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider p P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br />
