PEQUOT TERRACE <br />�. Manufactured Housing Community <br />PO Box 385 - Nisswa, MN 56468 - 218 - 963 -4495 <br />March 13, 2009 <br />City Council <br />City of Pequot Lakes <br />Pequot Lakes, MN <br />Dear Council Members, <br />The morning of Friday, March 61 at 8:30 a.m. a severe loss of water was observed at Lot A -12 of <br />Pequot Terrace. Tina Nolden was notified and assisted in promptly shutting off the water supply <br />from the city. <br />The rupture took place sometime during the night or early morning. Many thousands of gallons <br />of water was pumped aboveground and distributed over a large area and not being expelled into <br />the sewer lines. <br />Having to shut off the water supply 15 homes were without water. Fortunately we were able to <br />`.- have a locate done and a contractor with a back hoe was on scene at noon and by 3:00 P.M. a <br />new water riser was in place and water turned back on. The frost depth was about 3 Meet. <br />The request to the city council would be to forego sewer charges for the water that wasn't <br />disbursed to the city sewer lines.. The amount of gallons of water not disbursed to the city sewer <br />is over 100,000 gallons. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. Hopefully this doesn't happen very often! <br />Sincerely, <br />Earl Hemmerich <br />
