Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Bill Blesener <br />Rick Collova <br />Jim LaValle <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Back in February of this year, the City Council authorized <br />an expenditure for repairs on the meter house. Since that <br />time, St. Paul Water has requested that we do not perform <br />any repairs or upgrades to our meter. They propose to <br />install and maintain a meter at no cost to us. Through <br />negotiations, we have reached an agreement which I believe <br />is mutually beneficial to both parties. <br />The City of St. Paul shall supply and maintain a new water <br />meter in the metering house on Roselawn Avenue and the City <br />of Little Canada will no longer be required to perform any <br />maintenance, thereby saving approximately $1,000 per year <br />in manpower and maintenance costs to the present system. <br />With the new system, St. Paul Water will do all maintenance <br />work on the meter and take responsibility for the costs of <br />any calibrations or repairs. In addition, St. Paul Water <br />will test the meter every year with the testing to be done <br />in the presence of myself or another City representative to <br />ensure that the techniques and methods for testing are <br />within AWWA standards. This will then ensure less <br />disagreement about consumption and charges. The City also <br />retains the right that if it does not accept the results of <br />the testing of the master meter that we may hire an <br />independent testing firm to perform a test although these <br />costs will be borne by the City. <br />DBH:kpv <br />Pag6 61 <br />
