The operators have also started our annual recharge of filters. <br /> • I reported to the Elk River Police Department that one of our customers had informed us <br /> that he has had to turn a fire hydrant off three times because someone came along and <br /> turned it on. This was around the same time that Big Lake had six of their hydrants turned <br /> on which resulted in greatly reduced pressure in their system. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • February 2017 Pumping by Well <br /> • February 2017 Accumulated Precipitation Graph <br /> • February 2017 Daily Temperature Graph <br /> rellEREI 81 <br /> EI <br /> Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P OW EREO T o S ERV E <br /> 266 <br />
