BUTTE — The Butte Public Library and its collections
suffered heavy water damage from a water line break
and is expected to be closed for several weeks.
Butte Fire Marshall Jeff Miller said the fire
suppression water line likely burst from cold
temperatures. Library director Lee Phillips said water
poured into the building, flooding some of the
rooms with as much of 3 inches of water.
A resident noticed water pouring out of the back of
the building at about 11 p.m. Monday. Officials from
the city water department and Butte Fire Department
shut off the water line's emergency valve.
