They leveraged refinery equipment and set up a pumping system to remove water from the area and flow it back into the Yellowstone River.<\/p>\n<p>Their actions allowed the water treatment plant to return to its main source of power and remain operational, even as the Yellowstone River, which winds through Billings and is a stone throw\u2019s away from the refinery, reached record-high levels from the 500-year flooding event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We responded to the call and showed up ready to work. We did what we needed to do to keep 150,000 people from losing their water supply,\u201d Adelman said of the response.<\/p>\n<p>Record rainfall in June and rapid snowmelt caused rivers in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho to rise, washing away roads, bridges and other infrastructure and causing widespread flooding in the region. The floods forced Yellowstone National Park to close for over a week because of washed-out roads.<\/p>\n<p>The City of Billings escaped with minimal damage, unlike other towns in the region. The Billings Refinery sustained operations throughout the flooding event in part thanks to the action from the Phillips 66 employees coming to the aid of the local public works department to ensure reliable water supply to the community and site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Billings Refinery has a long history of outstanding relations with the City of Billings and the community in general,\u201d Maintenance Manager&nbsp;<strong>Mike Baker<\/strong>&nbsp;said. \u201cWe are proud of the partnership we have with our neighbors and are pleased that some of our skilled craftsmen and talented emergency response personnel were able to help the city avert a potential water supply disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their quick action helped the City of Billings maintain water supply amid recent historic flooding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","widen_thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/phillips66.widen.net\/content\/sksa1gvpso\/jpeg\/22-0006_65_Montana%20Flooding%207-13%20DotCom%20thumbnail.jpeg?keep=c&crop=yes&color=ffffffff&quality=54&u=s3whhe","widen_thumbnail_width":"2048","widen_thumbnail_height":"1262","psx_hero_image_url":"https:\/\/phillips66.widen.net\/content\/fbavhdejpf\/jpeg\/22-0006_65_Montana%20Flooding%207-13%20DotCom.jpeg?position=c&#038;color=ffffffff&#038;quality=80&#038;u=4kuu1w","psx_hero_image_width":"2048","psx_hero_image_height":"640","psx_hero_image_mobile_url":"https:\/\/phillips66.widen.net\/content\/sksa1gvpso\/jpeg\/22-0006_65_Montana%20Flooding%207-13%20DotCom%20thumbnail.jpeg?position=c&#038;color=ffffffff&#038;quality=80&#038;u=4kuu1w","psx_hero_image_mobile_width":"2048","psx_hero_image_mobile_height":"1262","psx_byline":"Bernardo Fallas"},"categories":[3,8],"class_list":["post-1006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-giving-our-energy","category-operating-excellence"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.9 (Yoast SEO v23.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Phillips 66 latest news and company stories<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phillips66.com\/newsroom\/billings-team-responded-to-the-call-for-city\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Billings team &#039;responded to the call&#039;
