UTILITY COMMISSION PROCEEDINGS • REGULALR MEETING JUNE 13, 1983 PAGE 2 Don Brown presented the McCarthy Well Company reports on the pump conditions at all three wells. Some review was held. Questions were raised as to some of the findings with a request by the Commission that Don Brown obtain clarification on them and place this on the next Regular Agenda for further discussion. Don Brown reported that the installation of full flow valves is moving rather slow. One valve has been installed with only a slight volume increase noted. Further installations will be accomplished as time permits. Don Brown advised the Commission that replacing regular water meters in good working order with outside reader meters has created a shelf surplus of good meters. He has instructed the maintenance staff to use these meters to replace faulty meters in the older sections of town. New construction and specific requests will be supplied outside reader type meters. Commission agreed with Don Brown's instructions on the use of the surplus meters. Don Brown informed the Commission that the Greif Brothers sewer recommendation has not been accomplished this spring as the area was planted prior to this project being scheduled with the work force. • Higher priority projects caused the delay but this should be accomplished this fall after the crops are harvested. Don Brown advised the Commission that the Utility Body has been mounted on the new pickup and is at MacQueen Equipment for painting. He also advised that the hoist for this unit is being fabricated at the Vo Tech. The winch has been ordered and should be here soon for installation.

At your meeting of August 9, 1982, you authorized us to prepare the plans and specifications for chlorination equipment at Wells No. 3 and 7 providing inside installation on all equipment and appurtenances. • In our report dated August 17, 1981, the estimated costs were calculated on the basis that at Well No. 7 the equipment would be installed in the existing chlorine room and at Well No. 3 the chlorine equipment would be in a metal cabinet that mounts on the outside of the building. Since your instructions require inside installation at Well No. 3 we have revised the cost estimate to include additional items required by inside installation. The additional work includes construction of a chlorine room within the pumphouse by building a concrete block partition wall, installing a ventilator in the existing building wall, installing a window in the new partition wall and moving piping for changes in the gas and water lines and additional electrical work in cluding a separate electrical unit heater for the chlorine room. The estimated total cost for two wells in the August 17, 1981 report was $12,000. The new total estimated cost for Wells 3 and 7 is $18,300, as shown in the breakdown below. 200 GOPHER BUILDING • 222 EAST LITTLE CANADA ROAD • ST.

The Commission agreed that this report shows that th+ Rosemount Well System is in the best shape it has ever been', based o the test scoring. Don Brown apprised the group on the increase in the Department of Natural Resources Water Permit. For the past many years the annual cost has been $5.00, this years renewal form shows an annual cost of $60.00. The Commission did not feel that any good would come from protesting this increase but if future increases use the same percentage increase formula a strong stand will have to be taken to halt the increases. Don Brown reported that McCarthy Well Company has reviewed their reports on the condition of the well equipment and have admitted that their inspector had transposed some of the information that caused the reports to show alarming changes in the equipment performance. NSP has agreed to inspect their service to the Well Equipment for imbalance and correct the problem. Don Brown reported that rust is still very prevalent during the flushing periods. Flushing is still being restricted to Thursdays and numerous reports are being received on Thursdays and Fridays. The • • • UTILITY COMMISSION PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 8, 1983 PAGE 2 Commission requested that all complaints be responded to either in writing or by phone. Education is still needed to make people realize that Thursdays are flushing days and until the chlorination process has cleaned out all of the lines, this is going to be a problem. Don Brown recommended that the Resident Valve Changing program be terminated as there has been no evidence at those residences that have been changed that indicates the program has any value. Commission concurred in Don Browns recommendation. The water tower base fence has been installed. The secretary reported that evidence has been received that would indicate that some people are using the wrong slot in the payment center, thereby causing their water billing accounts to become delinquent. The secretary advised that American Payment Center is forwarding a key for the other two boxes to allow us to monitor them to see if payments and meter cards are actually being placed in the wrong boxes.

Don Brown requested the Utility Commission to consider an InterCity connection of the Rosemount -Apple Valley water systems in the vicinity of Diamond Path School. This connection was initially discussed a number of years ago prior to the extensive development in Apple Valley that has moved the two water systems to within 50 feet of each other at one point. Cost information available is outdated and cannot be used to estimate the cost of this project due to the change in the Apple Valley water system. MOTION by Walsh to authorize Don Brown to investigate an InterCity water system connection between the Apple Valley- Rosemount systems in the vicinity of the Diamond Path School and report back to the Utility Commission as soon as possible. Second by Westin. Ayes were three. President Walsh informed the Commission that he was signature to approximately 100 letters to water customers advising them of their past due accounts and alerting them to the fact that if the billing was not paid by early September those amounts would be certified to the County for collection.
