Treasure County commissioners approve 2‑inch waterline crossing permit, limit county liability
Summary
The Treasure County Board approved an application to place a 2‑inch waterline under a county road, with the permit noting the county will not be responsible for damage to the line from maintenance or road work. The board signed the permit and asked the superintendent to execute the documents.
The Treasure County Board of Commissioners voted to approve an application allowing installation of a 2‑inch waterline under a county road, saying the county will not assume liability for damage to the line during routine maintenance or road work.
A commissioner moved to approve the form and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor and the county superintendent was asked to sign the permit. The permit includes language that the applicant will accept responsibility for any damage caused by maintenance or road work.
Commissioners discussed the depth and configuration of the proposed line during consideration. One commissioner noted the line would be “not gonna be real deep” and that the board should include language to protect the county from future maintenance claims. County staff confirmed the proposed line is two inches in diameter and that the applicant will compact the crossing after installation.
The superintendent was instructed to execute the paperwork and record the permit in the county files. The board did not attach additional conditions beyond the liability language and the standard requirements for an under‑road crossing permit.
The permit was approved during a regular meeting that also addressed budget and department reports. The superintendent signed the permit following the vote.
