WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) - Officials in Williston have voted to close two man camps over city code violations.
City commissioners moved to shut down the Black Gold Lodge and ATCO camps because they lack fire sprinkler systems. The facilities will be closed Feb. 15.
Black Gold came under city limits in 2013 through a land annexation. The city requires sprinkler systems and commissioners had given Black Gold until Dec. 31 to install one, but the 400-bed facility failed to do so.
Commissioner Tate Cymbaluk says the city was "crystal clear" with Black Gold during the annexation and gave notices to the facility.
Black Gold representatives didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday.
ATCO representatives have told the city that they were planning on closing operations in Williston.
