Chair Cihacek inquired when looking at the summer versus winter water rates, is it <br />possible to determine drivers of the increases and decreases between the quarters. <br />Mr. Freihammer stated staff could take a quick look at that to see if anything sticks <br />out. <br />Chair Cihacek thought the Commission wanted to determine is are the differences <br />because of irrigation or because of industrial use. He asked staff to find out why <br />there are differences seasonally in water rates for businesses because he thought <br />that would be helpful. <br />Member Wozniak stated as part of the data dive, was staff interested in looking at <br />conservation rates that other municipalities have put in place or is staff focused on <br />Roseville. <br />Mr. Culver thought a little research was done on that, but staff could do more as far <br />as what other communities are doing for conservation rates. <br />Member Wozniak stated when he was looking through information on this topic, <br />he found that Richfield adopted some water conservation rating structure a number <br />of years ago and thought staff could look at that. <br />Member Kruse stated on the map for the 2019 projects did the County change the <br />project on Lexington Avenue. <br />Mr. Freihammer indicated the County did change the project. The County reduced <br />the limits of the project for County Road C north on Lexington because the County <br />is trying to do some coordination with the future project at B2 which most likely <br />happen in 2020.

He thought it would be <br />later in the summer 2019. <br />Member Wozniak stated he has received a notice to start a water siphon two weeks <br />ago, so his water is really cold right now because it is running all of the time. <br />Mr. Culver stated there are many services in the City of Roseville that are shallow <br />and the residents that are on the freeze list have generally experienced an issue at <br />some point so the City sends out a letter to the residents once the frost depth hits a <br />certain level recommending the residents to start running water to prevent freezing <br />and the City gives the resident credit on their bill for constantly running the water. <br />He indicated a few years ago in 2014 when frost was five -six feet deep and there <br />were many services that froze up, so a second list was created but the City has not <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
