THIS STORY APPEARED IN THE HAVRE DAILY NEWS ON APRIL 6, 2004.

Citing concerns about contamination risks and the condition and capacity of the city water system under a section of U.S. Highway 2, a consulting firm has recommended that the city replace the water main when the section is torn up in 2006.

The city's public works director said the city also should replace the main sewer line under the section of highway and the service lines connecting the main line to buildings.

The total cost of the projects is estimated at $1.2 million, said Havre public works director Dave Peterson.
