DISCUSSION:
• Had 18 new house services.

permits.
• We have finished Miske Meadows 3rd Addition; the project consists of 17 residential lots.
• We continue working in Connexus acquisition Areas 3&4.
• Continue installing the infrastructure in Areas 5&6 heading north of the Waco substation.
These two areas will be acquired in 2018. These areas will require more work because
Connexus is keeping their feeder in these areas.

side of Highway 169. Part of this line will be placed underground from 193rd Avenue to
190 '/2 Lane.
• Timron Precision Gear needed to upgrade their service size, so we worked with them to
move the three phase transformer to a better location and installed new primary wire.
• Replaced a three phase overhead transformer bank with a pad mount transformer at
Chippewa Innovation as we didn't have a spare overhead transformer if one would
happen to fail.
• Built a single phase overhead tap for the temporary service at Guardian Angels
Riverview Landing. This building is located in north of Cowboy Jacks on Quantrelle
Avenue in Otsego.
• Working on moving three primary poles, a secondary pole, and installing a new three
phase underground service for Exquisite Stone on Cleveland Street and Highway 10.
• Installed a new single phase service for a billboard on Zane Street.
• Installed the three phase transformer at the Sherburne County Courthouse.Need to make
up the secondary side of the transformer once the electricians get their wires pulled in.
