City officials: Missoula can run water utility for millions less

The city of Missoula estimates it could operate the local water company for at least $5.5 million less than a private company can – given public information available to date.

"Keeping this money in Missoula means the system is better maintained over time, pure and simple," Mayor John Engen said in an email.

In a statement, however, Mountain Water Co. president John Kappes said the city’s assessment is unrealistic and its case is disingenuous because it still lacks a clear financial plan for operations.
