comes back out.
• Finished the cleanup work in Areas 5&6 that we acquired from Connexus in September.
• Continue to remove poles that are located in the rear lot line in Otsego. This ongoing job
is performed as a fill in between other jobs as they come in.
• Continue to work on the replacement of 16 poles that didn't pass inspection. This task
will be performed as a fill in between other jobs as they come in.
• Changed out a three phase pole that was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of County
Road 42 and 70th Street in Otsego.
• Installed the infrastructure for a single phase residential service at 17315 65th Street in
Otsego, and 18837 Ogden Street in Elk River.
• Due to a vehicle running into a model 3 switchgear cabinet at the intersection of Waco
Street and 109th Avenue, we replaced the box pad that the switchgear sits on, and part of
the switchgear cabinet that was damaged.
• Replaced a street light pole that was struck by a vehicle at 6th Street and Xenia Avenue.
• Installed a conduit pipe for the city at Rivers Edge Park. The pipe was installed in
preparation for additional electrical outlets to be added to accommodate the summer
concerts. The wiring and installation of outlets will be performed by an electrician.
• Moved a siren pole on HWY 10 west of Edison Street. This change will allow us to help
with the siren maintenance from the road.
• Installed a temporary house service in the Hillside 11th Addition;this addition has 16 lots
in it. The permanent infrastructure has yet to be installed, and as we are now dealing with
frost in the ground, the developer will be working with Michel's to figure out how much
can be done this winter.
