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 /> April 12, 2016 6.1e <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Delivered four new residential water meters. <br /> • Sealed the water meter, and took curb stop ties from five water services. <br /> • Went on six service calls. <br /> • Completed 25 BACTUTotal Chlorine Residual Samples <br /> o All confirmed negative for Coliform Bacteria. <br /> • Completed 20 routine fluoride samples <br /> o All samples met MDH standards. <br /> • The painters finished sandblasting and painting the pipes and filter at Well#3. EH <br /> Renner also installed the new vertical line shaft turbine pump and motor. We are in the <br /> process of reinstalling all of the chemical feed equipment back into the well. We still <br /> have some control wiring which Tony Hubbard is helping us complete. We should have <br /> the well up and running within the next week or two. <br /> • The operators have also been working on a laundry list of small improvements in all of <br /> the other wells. This is done so we can do our best to ensure our wells make it through <br /> the busy season. <br /> • On April 4,we discovered during daily rounds that Well#7 would not run. The well had alarmed <br /> the prior Saturday,and Mike Langer utilized SCADA to ensure the well would not be called upon <br /> for production. During our investigation we discovered that all three legs of the motor tested <br /> poorly. We are in the process of determining the next course of action. The current Pleuger motor <br /> is a low speed motor,which is more expensive to replace.We may be able to replace the motor <br /> and do some pump modifications for less money than it is to just replace the Pleuger motor. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • March Pumping by Well <br /> • March 2016 Accumulated Precipitation Graph <br /> • March 2016 Daily Temperature Graph <br /> ww POWERED BY <br /> rir$ Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider POWERED To SERVE <br /> 242 <br />
