Roads and driveways may be damaged or washed out in places. Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks. Undercut banks can collapse and you will find yourself in a deadly situation in fast moving cold water. Stay away from river banks until the river recedes to normal summer flows, especially children. Please report observed flooding to local emergency officials and request they pass the information to the National Weather Service in Billings.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the District.

Anyone else ready for this year to END, and next year to START? Boy, howdy, I sure am!

I just sent out invites to known "BELFRENIANS" on my friends list. Let's see if we can get some action in 2022.

The 2022 Service Year Packets will be sent out Monday (12/13) or Tuesday (12/14). Do not panic if the Statement says you have a balance due, and you don't. I had to finish them off on the 5th with what I had.
