What happened
A public hearing was held in Cut Bank regarding the community's wastewater system. A presentation noted that the Wastewater Treatment Plant is functioning well and does not require immediate improvements. However, the wastewater collection system needs evaluation via CCTV inspection, and many pipes are 85 to 100 years old.
Why it matters
The southwest lift station, which manages three-quarters of the town's flow, requires repairs. Officials warned that if this station fails, it could overflow and contaminate the creek. A grant project is planned to include choppers for the southwest lift station.
