Re:
Att:
-- — - City of Kalispell, Montana
July 8, 1974
Dear Mr. Crawford:
Reference is made, to our telephone discussion in -captioned matter
on July 2, 1979. The facts in this matter are as follows:
Mr. Oscar H. Olson is the owner of a private water system
serving slightly less than 50 customers a short distance
outside the city limits of Kalispell. Mr. Olson's system
operates from private wells served by two pumps. Recently
one of his pumps broke down and he is experiencing difficulty
having it repaired. He has requested the City furnish him
water on a temporary basis while he gets his pump repaired.
The City has no objection to furnishing this water on a
temporary basis but we do not wish to extend the City water
service to the Olson controlled area unless that area becomes
annexed to the City and we will not furnish water to him if
the City would be held to have extended its water system to
this area. Upon my explaining this situation to you on July
2nd you advised, after consulting with the Commission, that
the City could do this on a temporary basis with no -potential
holding that the City would be deemed to have extended its
water system to the entire Olson controlled area -
Accordingly, the City of Kalispell will furnish water to Mr. Olson
through his system on the following conditions:
1. Water will be furnished for a temporary time only not to
exceed 90 days.
131
2. Mr. Olson will be responsible for contacting the City
Water Department and having the meters of his customers.
read before any water is furnished. When the City terminates
furnishing water to the Olson system the meters will be again
read and Mr. Olson billed directly for the entire amount
furnished his customers. Mr. Olson will be responsible for
the entire amount billed and how he collects from his customers
is his sole responsibility and not that of the City Water
Department.
3. It is definitely agreed and understood that by the City
furnishing water to the Olson system this should not amount
to an extension of the City water lines beyond its present
limits and the City shall incur no added responsibility to
furnish water to the Olson system beyond the 90 day period
covered hereby..

Dear Mr. Olson:
This self explanatory copy of our letter to the Public Service
Commission is furnished you as a recitation of the terms and
conditions under which water will be furnished to your system
as per your recent request. You should make immediate arrange-
ments with the City Water Department to have the meters of your
customers read as water will not be furnished to you until this
is done. When your pump is repaired and you go back on your own
system you must advise the City Water Department immediately so
the connection can be terminated, At the same time you will re -
contact the City water Department to have the meters of your
customers read to calculate the amount of water furnished to you
during this period. You will be billed directly for the entire
amount furnished at the current pate for out of city water and it
will be your responsibility to pay this amount to the city. You
can collect the various amounts from your customers as you see fit.
If you are not willing to accept water on these conditions I am
' advised the City will not furnish water to your system at this
time.
Very truly yours,
Norbert F. Donahue
City Attorney
