Description
- Page 360 - Page 361 The City of Billings (hereinafter referred to as City) filed a complaint with the Public Service Commission (PSC) on June 17, 1974, to protest the unilateral expansion by the County Water District of Billings Heights (District) of its boundaries. The City had entered a contract with the District in 1963 pursuant to which the City was obligated to sell water to the District. The City alleged that the contract had been nullified, or in the alternative that the contract required the City to furnish water solely for use within the original District boundaries. Following a hearing on the matter, the PSC issued its Order No. 4366 in Docket No. 6349, dated July 20, 1977, in which it determined that it had no jurisdiction to interpret the contract, that it had no authority to fix the Districts boundaries, that it would have the power to modify the contract if rates or service were adversely affected, but that such a showing had not been made by the City. The City filed a petition for judicial review of the PSCs order and a complaint seeking declaratory judgment defining the rights of the parties under the contract.
