______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> <br />TO: <br />ERMU Commission <br />FROM: <br />Chris Sumstad – Electric Superintendent <br />MEETING DATE: <br />August 8, 2023 <br />AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />6.1f <br />SUBJECT: <br />Staff Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None <br /> <br />DISCUSSION: <br />• Installed 11 new residential services, which involves the connection of a secondary line <br />once the customer requests service. <br />• Along with the new 500 mcm underground wire for the Feeder 44 project to Otsego, we <br />also installed single phase underground wire along Parrish Avenue. This allowed us to <br />convert the houses on the west side of Parrish to underground and eliminate the road <br />crossings over Parrish. Crews recently switched over the last customer and will start tear <br />down soon. <br />• Crews are currently rebuilding a section of overhead line near Highway 10 and Upland <br />Avenue. The bore crew also installed 500 mcm underground wire along Vernon Street <br />from Highway 10 to Meadowvale Avenue. This allows us to reroute our feeder line away <br />from Upland Avenue and is related to the future County Road 44 Highway <br />reconstruction. <br />• Mi-Tech was here in July and tested around 250 of our wood poles. This is done <br />annually, and this year seven were found to be defective and in need of replacement. <br />• The bore crew recently started underground primary replacement in the Pascal Street <br />and 199th Avenue area of Elk River. This will replace cable which is over 40 years old, <br />unjacketed, and susceptible to underground faults. <br />• Joe Schmidt from Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association was here on July 27 and <br />conducted pole top and bucket rescue training. This is done annually and is attended by <br />the office staff, as they also train on taking mayday calls from the field. <br />• Crews finished work at the Cargill Complex in early July. Work there involved installing <br />new primary wire, rerouting existing wire and installing two new three phase <br />transformers to the new lab and new feed mill. Work finished up with connecting the <br />primary loop feed back together ensuring redundancy. <br />• Line crews along with the meter shop replaced a disconnect blade on a feeder at Station <br />14 substation. This heating issue was detected with the thermal imaging camera during <br />a routine substation check. <br /> <br />98
