Mountain Water Company

Testimony wrapped up at the Missoula County Courthouse on Friday in the Mountain Water Company condemnation lawsuit.

Missoula may be trying to condemn Mountain Water Company, but testimony in court today was mostly about how well the city runs the things it is already responsible for.

Missoula Mayor John Engen is taking issue with a report released Friday by the Missoulian newspaper, which was then picked up statewide by the Associated Press, regarding the legal and other costs incurred so far in acquiring the Mountain Water Company.

Missoula Mayor Jon Engen went before the City Council this afternoon to discuss updates within the Mountain Water Company acquisition process.

On Friday morning, Mayor John Engen was informed that the Carlyle Group had agreed to sell Missoula's Mountain Water Company to a Canadian company, Algonquin Power and Utilities Company in Ontario.

Starting next Monday, Missoula's Mountain Water Company will begin replacing a major water main in the heart of town.

Today, May 28, 38 employees of Mountain Water Company filed a motion to force the City of Missoula to include them in the condemnation lawsuit proceedings against their company.

At a Missoula City Council meeting on Wednesday, February 12, council members and the public heard about the financial numbers involved in the purchase of the Mountain Water Company.
