Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Michelle Canterbury—Executive Administrative <br /> John Dietz—Chair Assistant <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> July 12, 2016 2.8 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Residential and Commercial Water Connection Agreements <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Currently we are using the same Water Connection Permit/Agreement for both residential and <br /> commercial customers. This has caused some confusion as the commercial water access charges <br /> are based on the number of units calculated by the city, and commercial accounts are charged <br /> sales tax whereas residential are not. Another issue has been that the permit/agreement requires <br /> annual revisions as there are actual dollar amounts listed for water connection fees and water <br /> meters. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> In an effort to standardize our agreements for service, and direct customers to our fee schedule <br /> for pricing, staff has revised the Residential Water Connection Agreement and has created a new <br /> Commercial Water Connection Agreement. Legal counsel has reviewed and approved the <br /> proposed agreements. As service agreements are currently part of our policy manual, <br /> Commission approval is required for the implementation of the proposed agreements. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Staff recommends approval of the revised Residential Water Connection Agreement and the new <br /> Commercial Water Connection Agreement <br /> ATTACHMENT: <br /> • Old ERMU Policy—S.15—Water Connection Permit—for reference only <br /> • Proposed ERMU Policy—S.15—Residential Water Connection Agreement <br /> • Proposed ERMU Policy—S.16—Commercial Water Connection Agreement <br /> POWERED BY <br /> • Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public' <br /> Power Provider P OWERED T o S ERV E <br /> 62 <br />
