NOTICE.

H., There has been considerable dis
: cussion in the RECONSTRUCTION o'
! the Columbia Falls water system
about the obligation of the con-
sumner and the Water1Department
The contract for the installation
of the water mains does not pro-
vide connections from the mann
to users premises. In installing
connections from the new mains
to new premises, the Water De-
partment contracts with the ow-
ners of property, authorized ag-
ents, or with tenants. Before any
connections are made on our new
main, an application for the in
PRODUCTION of water service from
the new main must be filed by
such users on regular form fur
nished by the Water Department.
The Water Department, in this
way, will know the number of
outlets and the rates to be charged
When such application has been
granted by the Water Department,
it will at, its own expense, tap the
main and furnish corporation cock
or any other materials used or
labor furnished in connection with
the actual tapping of the main.
All expense of laying and main
tanning service pipe from mains to
the consumers premises must be
borne by the consumer. Before
any connection is made to the
new main, the Water Commission
er, upon receipt of approved ap-
plication, tests all services to in
sure that there are no leaks. The |
minimum depth required on all /
service lines will he five feet be-
low the surface of the ground. A
curb cock will be installed ap-
oroximately five feet outside the
line: on the service pipe
md a shut-off valve must be pro-
';ded inside the premises where
water is supplied. The cost of
such installation must be borne
~ the consumer. Waste of water
S prohibited and consumers must
eer their fixtures and service
'ires in good order at their own
and all water ways closed
When not in use. No open hoses
r pipes will be allowed for irri-
alton or other purposes. No
lumber or other person will be

allowed to make connections o.
service lines without permits
sion from the company. Service
pipes shall be SO arranged that
the supply of each separate build.
! ing, house, or premises may be
controlled by separate curb cock
/ installed in an approved form
The Water Department shall have
. access at all reasonable hours to
any premises where water is used
for purpose of making an inspec-
| ton sor investigation. If service
pipes are tested by. the Water
Department and found to be in
proper working order, this cost
of this test will be borne. by the
water company If found leaking,
the cost will be borne by the con-
sumner. Out of town users are sub
ject to same rules as those within
the town. The water department
cannot own or. install at own ex-
pense any distribution lines out
side the city limits.
These rules have been enacted
by the Town Council after consid-
cradle study and discussion from
the general rules and regulations
provifDi by the Public Service
Commission of Montana, a full
copy, of which is available, from
the office of the Town Clerk. Ev-
cry individual, firm or corpora
ton who takes water or makes
for water agrees to be
bound thereby. The Water Depart
ment in an effort to make these
proper installations that are in eff
feet in practically every town in
the state Of Montana and to keep
the costs at a minimum is
leasing a small digging machine
and all work will be done on an
actual cost basis without profit |
to the Water Department. In many
cases throughout town where pre-
sent installations do not conform
to these general rules, digging
costs and pipe will be furnished

or the Town Council

er, the fall was .88 of an inch and
ten miles away on the top of Mt.

The heavy, spotty rains of the

mage in the Flathead. Tuesday at |

little crop damage resulted there.
