Palmer, with whom I spoke last Thursday, I was informed of an improper installation of water service at 1961 Selby Avenue in Saint Paul. Although I do not dispute the facts stated in your letter dated March 17, 1997, I believe an explanation is in order. I subcontrzcte� the outsi_de ��ork to Rob Brandtjen and I was not present during the installation of the water service. Bob Brandtjen has installed many water services in the city of Saint Paul. I was never aware of any problems with his work. I believe he is sti11 installing water services under someone elses license. I regret that there were any problems under my license. I do believe that the problem has been corrected. I believe that the cost of the repairs and corrections were paid by Bob Brandtjen. Regretfully Yours, ��'�� 2/ Robert C.

Palmer, with whom I spoke last Thursday, I was informed of an improper installation of water service at 1961 Selby Avenue in Saint Paul. Although I do not dispute the facts stated in your letter dated March 17, 1997, I believe an explanation is in order. I subcontrzcte� the outsi_de ��ork to Rob Brandtjen and I was not present during the installation of the water service. Bob Brandtjen has installed many water services in the city of Saint Paul. I was never aware of any problems with his work. I believe he is sti11 installing water services under someone elses license. I regret that there were any problems under my license. I do believe that the problem has been corrected. I believe that the cost of the repairs and corrections were paid by Bob Brandtjen. Regretfully Yours, ��'�� 2/ Robert C.
