Montana City Takes Ownership of Water Utility
6/23/2017
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — The city of Missoula has taken ownership of the water utility that serves its residents after a three-year court battle.
The city bought Mountain Water Co. for $83.86 million and paid another $6.8 million to developers who had a claim against the company. Those amounts do not include attorneys’ fees.
Missoula won the right to buy the utility in an eminent domain case.
Missoula had been the last incorporated town in Montana that did not own its water system.
