City Council starts budget meeting

Havre City Council heard Tuesday about work to rehabilitate a city water tank, approved some requests for street closures for Festival Days and ended by opening its final budget meeting, continued to 6 tonight in City Hall.

Public Works Director Dave Peterson told the council about work being done on the West Water Tank, resolving a problem that was found in the 1990s that shuts the tank down every winter.

Peterson said crews started draining the tank Tuesday and that will continue today so a company can come in to rehabilitate the tank.

The work will keep the city from watering most city park...
