Dear Mayor and City Council:
The Airport Authority has watched with interest the on-going discussion concerning planning
and funding of improvements to the City's water treatment and distribution system. Please
keep in mind during your considerations the need of water at the Airport; there is only well
water there and that is not even adequate for the single occupied home on-site. We have
several new hangers under construction with more planned. As you can expect, without an
adequate water system, fire protection becomes of paramount concern.
The Laurel Airport will continue to grow in importance. in the region as the main reliever
airport for Billings' Logan International; this is a role that Columbus and Hardin would very
much like to assume. We also formed an Airport Planning Committee to. determine what the
community would like to see the Airport look like in the years ahead. Finally, we are in the
process of rebuilding/relocating the main runway to increase its ability to handle today's
aircraft, to mitigate growing safety concerns, and address new Federal Aviation
Administration requirements.
Please keep this future in mind when you are planning the water distribution system in the
north area of Laurel.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
5C? 4
