Current & Upcoming Construction Projects
Electronic Radio Transmitter (ERT)
We are currently engaging in the process of converting all St Michael water service customers over to the new Electronic Radio Transmitter system (ERT). This will eliminate the blue meter cards. We are moving from neighborhood to neighborhood and will soon be in yours!
The Joint Powers Water Utility is a Pioneer in Minnesota
The Joint Powers Water Board is currently in the process of constructing what is referred to as aquifer storage and recovery (ASR), and it is the first such system in Minnesota. The primary purpose for us is to provide adequate storage capacity of treated water without the need to build additional treatment plants and water towers. We will take already treated/filtered water from the distribution system during the slower winter months, pump it into the ground to be pumped back out during the summer peak water demands. This results in a tremendous cost savings to you, the customer.
