Butler City Council news from August 7th meeting
Our hot and dry weather is a problem in more ways than one. The Butler water department had repaired 17 water line breaks in the past ten days, unless there have been more since this writing. The reason is that as the earth dries, it reduces in size, and as it settles, it causes water lines to break.
Also, the Butler Light Plant has operated during peak heat conditions for three hours on June 26th, and two hours on the 29th. Just one more reason to be pleased that Butler has the equipment to help generate power during peak times.

Minor storm damage reported around the county
A much welcomed cold front moved into our area early last evening, and with it came a mixed bag of reports that ranged from dime sized hail near Amsterdam, to half dollar sized hail in other parts of the county along with varied rain amounts.
F Highway was temporarily blocked by a fallen tree about 7 miles west of Passaic, while 18 Highway east of Adrian also blocked by a tree and other debris. There was at least one grass fire started by lightning- fortunately, the rain snuffed it out before firefighters arrived.
Most importantly, we did get some much needed rain, with the average reported amount to be a little less than 1/2 inch. More good news- temps are expected to average around 90 through the first part of next week...
