LORD & BREMSETH <br />YUnta. i a/ ._faa <br />810 East Lake Street <br />Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 <br />612-475-2600 <br />..49 .. <br />June S. 1988 <br />Mr. John R. Gerhardson <br />Public Works Director <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />P. O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br />Re: 3508 Ivy Place <br />Dear Mr. Gerhardson: <br />Downtown Faciltt) <br />4624 IDS Tower <br />Minneapolis. Minnesota <br />55402 <br />, UH 13 <br />Today you asked that I write you this letter in order that the <br />problem with the unusual water meter readings at 3508 Ivy Place be <br />brought to Orono City Council's attention for their consideration. <br />PROBLIVW : <br />The home at 3508 Ivy Place was billed for 991,000 gallons of <br />water for the last quarter of 1987. <br />HISTORY: <br />The house at 3508 Ivy Place is owned by Mr. Stephen B. Wilsr-' <br />Mr. Wilson has lived at that address for 12 years. Throughout this <br />time, his water usage has been normal, except for one quarter in <br />1980 indicating the usage at 268,000 gallons. Periodically the home <br />has had dripping faucets and leaking toilets. However, even with <br />those problems, your staff has been unable to find an explanation of <br />water usaqe that could come close to accounting for the amount of <br />water represented in your billing. <br />At our request, you had this mete_ tested at Munitech, Inc. <br />wliere 520 gallons of water was run through the meter. It is my <br />understanding that to test for a meter where one gear may be <br />catching on another gear, it would he nec(-ssary to run over 10,000 <br />gallons trough the miter. <br />On April 4, 1988, the meter read 040300. Today Mr. Wilson read <br />his inside meter which read 070940. According to the way you read <br />meters, in the last six we( a he has used over 6,000,000 gallons of <br />water. <br />
