Developers who annexed property into the city of Belgrade after June 2018 were told their projects would not be eligible for city sewer service until additional treatment capacity became available.
That changed last week, when city officials proposed extending eligibility for sewer service to properties annexed into the city before Jan. 1, 2020. The City Council authorized the change at its May 3 meeting.
âWe have about 800 equivalent residential units that we can allocate to the wastewater treatment plant capacity,â explained Ted Barkley, city manager, before the council voted. âWhat you donât want to do is just put a hold on all development until a new plant comes online because of an administrative rule.â

An exclusive Montana resort wants to turn sewage into snow so that its rich and famous members can ski its slopes in a winter season that’s shrinking because of climate change.
The Yellowstone Club a ski and golf resort just north of Yellowstone National Park that counts Bill Gates, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel among its members has asked the Montana Department of Environmental Quality for a permit to allow it to use wastewater for snowmaking operations on its ski slopes.
About a dozen other ski areas across the U.S. have used wastewater to make artificial snow before, but the Yellowstone Club would be the first in Montana. The technique has also been used in Europe and Australia.
