Elk River —. <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Wade Lovelette—Superintendent of Technical <br /> John Dietz—Chair Services <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> September 10, 2013 4.2 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> North Substation Upgrade Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> The preliminary work for the upgrade at the North Substation has begun. Granite City Construction has <br /> started the excavation work for widening the driveway to the substation and expanding the parking area. <br /> A temporary fence had to be put in place for the landowner's cattle until the dirt work was complete. <br /> After that was completed, the permanent fence was put back up and a new gate was installed for him. <br /> We have five substation meters inside the meter building that have to be moved to an outside wall. Our <br /> meter technicians took care of this project on August 28th. <br /> We are scheduled to switch out the North Substation on September 24th,remove the 10.5 MVA <br /> transformer on September 25th and install the new substation transformer on September 26th. We are <br /> planning for a two week outage on that substation to get everything wired and installed. The North <br /> Substation should be back online by October 8th. <br /> I have a slide show of some preliminary photos of how the substation looks before the upgrade takes <br /> place. We will show this during the meeting. <br /> -' POWERED II <br /> Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider POWERED To SERVE <br /> 46 <br />
