These consisted of 450 normal tickets, <br />2 emergency tickets, 60 updated tickets, 9 meetings, 2 planning, 4 boundary surveys, <br />and 13 cancellations. This resulted in a 4.6% decrease in tickets from the previous <br />month and a 25.9% increase from the prior June. <br />• In June, the electrical technicians completed 467 service order tasks, updated the power <br />bill, addressed customer meter issues and any off-peak concerns. <br />• The AMI residential water meters and residential electric meters continue to be <br />installed in new services. The electrical technicians have been busy changing out AMR <br />meters to AMI meters for small non-demand commercial customers. We did receive <br />some of our RMA/Warranty meters back from Sensus. We have approximately 5,532 <br />(97%) water meters and 12,441 (88%) electric meters that are installed within the <br />system. Overall, the AMI project is approximately 91% completed. <br />• Review of foundation drawings for East substation have been completed and contract <br />documents for concrete work has been released for bids. The fencing contractor will <br />begin installation in August and will return to complete the remaining fence work after <br />the foundations have been poured. <br />• We have been working with WEG on the East transformer’s Load Tap Changer (LTC) to <br />make sure it matches the Otsego transformer. Conduit and ground grid installation will <br />take place early this winter, with assembly of the structures being built over the winter <br />by ERMU staff. Commissioning of the substation should be completed by September 1. <br />• Our monthly peak was 66.15 MW on June 22, at 4:50pm. <br />87
