Mayor Bill Cole, City Councilman Mike Boyett, and Billings Water Quality Superintendent Louis Engels shovel dirt during the groundbreaking ceremony for the new West End Water Treatment Plant in March. The $68 million project is expected to address increasing water demands and allow for better maintenance of the city's existing water treatment plant once the new facility is operational, which is expected in late 2026. The city is also building a diversion structure from the Billings Bench Water Association Canal, a pump station, and a water storage reservoir.Â
