Uptown committee backs renovation in Butte area
The Uptown renovation committee in Butte plans to push redevelopment despite Anaconda Co. mining plans. They estimate a 1.5 cent rise in copper prices per pound could fund about 50 million dollars in work, but financing remains uncertain. They will draft plans for merchants once land-use and parking studies are complete, while seeking Anaconda support to renovate key buildings like the Hennessy structure.

Butte Anaconda water rates rise approved by PSC
The Montana Public Service Commission approved permanent rate increases for Butte Water Co. and added to temporary hikes already in place. Butte customers face $188,292 yearly plus $325,482 from June, while Anaconda adds $9,606 atop $43,996. Commissioner Shea dissented, citing hardship amid ARCO cuts. The decision notes an antiquated rate design and bars new general increases without a substantially simplified structure. The agency could not compute average bill impacts due to the complex rate scheme.
