The United Methodist Church is in the process of expanding their parking area by purchasing
more land and demolishing the home. They are taking exception to our policy of removing the
water service from these homes due to added expense. Mr. Robert McCartney, our previous
water superintendent, now retired, will be at our meeting to make his case.
Enclosed is the following information for your review.
1) Aerial view of this area.
2) Plat map marking what homes have been removed.
3) Section 114 "Abandoned Water Service" of our water rules. The paragraph addressing
moving or wrecking a house has been in this policy since its inception.
To the best of my knowledge, one house has been removed but other homes will be removed in
the fixture.

stop box shall be removed by a licensed plumber or licensed sewer installer at the expense of the
property owner
A performance bond or deposit shall be furnished to Elk River Municipal Utilities to guarantee
disconnection, before applicant can obtain a permit for moving or razing a structure. This will be returned

Utilities.
In the case where local unit of government will not issue a street disruption permit to allow the proper
abandonment of water service, property owner shall pay Elk River Municipal Utilities the estimated costs
to properly abandon water service along with GPS coordinates of the abandoned water stop. The Elk
River Municipal Utilities will then assume all future liability to properly abandon water services and shall
do so in case of service line teaks. Estimated cost shall be $2,500.00.
If in the future the water service is reused, the Elk River Municipal Utilities will refund the initial paid
amount to the property owner. In the event a service to be reused is not of proper materials per Section
104, a new service shall be installed by owner and old service shall be abandoned by Elk River Municipal
Utilities.
When a permit for moving or wrecking a house is granted, the City Building Department shall inform the
applicant that a licensed plumber must shut off the water service at the main, an inspection must be
made by Elk River Utilities before backfilling excavation, and that a bond or deposit is required by the
Utilities.
The Elk River Utilities Office shall make out a repair order for the water foreman stating location and
property owner and name of wrecker or mover. When the water is shut off, the water foreman shall note
this on the repair order and turn it in to the Elk River Municipal Utilities' Office.
In a situation where a new service is installed and the old service is abandoned. The Elk River Municipal
Utilities shall notify the City's Building Department Office of said action and instruct the property owner to
proceed to have the old abandoned water service disconnected and plugged at the main.
