Great Falls drains for sewer system reveal plans for Butte comparison
Great Falls has completed 70 percent of a drainage sewer to fix flood risks similar to Butte. Commissioner JE Strasburger notes the project uses reinforced concrete pipes up to 60 inches and a two-section duct system costing 86 dollars per foot. Bond issues cover costs, with Butte contractors handling a 214000 dollar bid and a 925000 pound bond issue. Citizens south of Front street in Butte may seek a district extension to fund similar work. Plans for flood-water systems and wider paving remain under discussion as Butte weighs property-owner attitudes and prioritizes Harrison Avenue and alleys next spring.
