Mayor Gives Update
On Billings Town News
Notification has been received from the State
Health Dept, concerning the two south water wells
of Billings which were recently under flood water
and contaminated. They have passed the sample tests
and are ready to be back on line.
The new sewer lagoon came through the "100 year
flood" two weeks ago without any problems. Very
minor erosion occured on the east and south dikes.
Paperwork has been submitted to the Dept. of
Commerce (formerly DECCA) for a grant on the Phase
II part of the Town Water Project. Word should be
released the end of November. Phase II concerns the
replacement of water lines all over town, new fire
hydrants and an additional water well for backup
purposes.
Jim Brand has submitted his resignation from the
Town Council and has accepted the position of
Public Works Director, effective Oct. 1, 1986. The
vacancy on the council will be filled by appoint-
ment at the next regular meeting Nov. 6, 1986.
PLAYERS of the WEEK
Open House Nov. 4. We

see all of our work and
displays.

ing responsibility. We

Tampering with the municipal water system is
against the law! That means - turning on water
mains or water wells, damaging property or equip-
ment. The offense is a misdemeanor and upon con-
viction a fine of $100 plus court costs. The Town
of Billings will prosecute person or persons turn-
ing on Southwest water well without authorization
and damaging property on Oct. 19, 1986.
The topic of dogs running loose in town seems to
be the only thing some people here in town can
think about. They are a problem - have been for
sometime and will continue to be so until the resi-
dents of this community understand that the owners
of the animals are responsible for the actions of
their animals. Instead of telling the City
Hall all the time, why not tell the owners? City
Hall is working on the problem but has had very
little success. If you - their neighbor - would put
some pressure on the animal owners, then maybe our
efforts would have a better success rate. The
citizens of this community cannot sit back and
expect City hall to solve all of the problems. It
has to be a community effort by all or the animal
problem will always be with us.
Players of the week for

DOG OWNERS!! If your animals are not confined
by a leash or a fence, then you are breaking the
law and causing your neighbors in the community
much unhappiness and anger. The animals are running
loose all over town, getting into the garbage cans
and threatening people young and old. The city
trash service has stated they will notpick up the
trash if dogs are present and acting in a threaten-
ing manner. Your dogs have kept your neighbors
from having trash pickup service. Young school
children are intimidated by your animals. It would
be a tragedy if a child was bitten or attacked. The
elderly people have been frightened by your animals
they are afraid to walk to town because of the
threat of your dogs. The 4-H - FFA pens were sub-
ject to dogs attacking and killing the sheep that
were to be raised for show animals.
Animal owners have a responsibility to keep their
animals at home and confined to their own premises.
If you love and care for your animals - keep them
at home! Your neighbors are sick and tired of them.
Our City Mainetenance Dept, has a great deal of
responsibility in keeping the water lines repaired,
water wells running properly, gas lines and meters
operating and sewer lines and lagoon functioning,
according to state and federal guidelines. Also
grass has to be mowed and swimming pool maintained
during the summer months. Monthly reports have to
be made to the county and state health department
and the state corporation commissioner. Tests also
have to be made and submitted with the reports.
Daily monitoring has to be part of the work routine
There is little time left for the job of animal
control - but it will be done if absolutely nec-
essary! The City should be the last resort for
sovling an animal problem.
If the city has to pick up an animal, that animal
