>4 <br /> Elk River --- <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> ERMU Commission Chris Sumstad— Electric Superintendent <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> December 14, 2022 6.1h <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> None <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Installed 21 new residential services, which involves the connection of a secondary line <br /> once the customer requests service. <br /> • Work has continued for crews along Highway 169. They recently energized the new 500 <br /> MCM underground feeder that was installed near School Street and Highway 169. The <br /> underground work is mostly completed. Some work is still left at the Highway 10/101 <br /> interchange which will occur in spring of 2022. Crews will work into the winter tearing <br /> down old overhead lines at 197th Avenue, Main Street, and School Street intersections. <br /> • Crews have worked with Great River Energy (GRE) this past month on changing out the <br /> structures along the east side of Highway 169 for the Redefine project. With the final <br /> pole being changed out on December 7 and our lines attached to GRE's transmission <br /> poles, this project is complete. <br /> • At 2:20 p.m. on December 7, a westbound car left the roadway in the 14000 block of <br /> County Road 39 and struck and snapped one of our three phase power poles. This <br /> interrupted power to approximately 150 customers. Crews responded to the accident, <br /> replaced the pole and put the wires back up, restoring power to customers just before <br /> 6:00 p.m. <br /> • Crews installed underground wire and a transformer at a business on Highway 10 for a <br /> new three phase service intended to power a greenhouse/retail addition. <br /> • Crews are in the process of installing wire and a transformer for a three phase service at <br /> a new commercial building on 163rd Avenue in Elk River. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> 150 <br />
