~/ <br />Elk River ~" <br />Municipal Utilities ~' <br />13069 Orono Parkway • PO. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />July 23, 2007 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />Jim Tralle <br />Froin: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: Licensed Contractors <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />On June 8, 2007 one of our customers experienced a water service leak in the boulevard. The <br />property owner is a contractor, although not licensed and bonded, did the necessary repairs. The <br />repairs did not go as smoothly as possible. Commissioner Gumphrey asked us to develop a list <br />of qualified contractors that we can give to customers with water leak problems. <br />The building and zoning department provides us with a list of contractors who have done work in <br />Elk River. We have narrowed down that list to a reasonable list and it is attached for your <br />review. <br />We typically do not like to provide a list of contractors due to the public perception of making <br />recommendations and playing favorites. We do not now have the ability to verify if contractors <br />are current in their license and bonding. <br />Hopefully the first paragraph of this list resolves these two issues. Because water leaks of this <br />nature often happen after hours and need to be fixed as soon as possible, a list of this nature that <br />can be given to the customer is warranted. <br />
