L) eo <br /> Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Eric Volk- Water Superintendent <br /> John Dietz—Chair <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> September 9, 2014 6.1e <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Delivered 2 new residential water meters. <br /> • Sealed the water meter and took curb stop ties from 3 water services. <br /> • Turned on 1 water service and 1 electric service. <br /> • Went on 15 service calls. <br /> • Completed 25 locates. <br /> • Completed 25 BACTI/Total Chlorine Residual Samples; all confirmed negative for <br /> Coliform Bacteria. <br /> • Completed 20 routine fluoride samples. All samples met MDH standards. <br /> • Completed 2 THM/HAA5 samples. These samples are required on an annual basis by the <br /> Minnesota Department of Health. <br /> • 280 fire hydrants have had maintenance performed on them so far this summer. <br /> • One Way Building Services has been working on installing the Verizon Antennas on the <br /> Gary and Johnson Street towers. Both sites are nearly complete, we're just waiting on the <br /> asphalt company to come in and pave. <br /> • Pete has completed 687, of the over 800 curbstop ties, that are missing from our curbstop <br /> ties catalog. He's now working on the commercial ties which will take much longer. <br /> • The water department fixed 4 watermain breaks on Morton Avenue. Two of the breaks <br /> were fixed on August 20th, and two were fixed on August 22nd. We suspect that the <br /> watermain had froze over the winter and the water finally made it to the surface. By <br /> doing the repairs ourselves we saved over$15,000 in parts and labor. The line department <br /> helped out by hauling the excavator for us. The streets department loaned us the traffic <br /> control and hauled away all of the asphalt for us. <br /> • The Auburn Street water tower was spot repaired by Slack Painting. We hope to get 5 <br /> more years out of the current coating before we have to recondition the tower. <br /> • The Zylstra Harley Owners Group painted 74 hydrants on September 6th. The water <br /> operators serviced the hydrants before they were painted. <br /> l�D► POWERED OY <br /> ri r3 Page 1 of 2 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T O S E R V E <br /> 90 <br />
