Please click below to read the whole post as there is important information for each division. This is not typical for us so we are going with the flow right now.

Our Minot division will NOT be running today. We will be working on making up routes throughout the week.
Circle Sanitation post!
Our Noonan division is currently running but only getting the following towns: Bowbells, Flaxton, Lignite & Portal.

Our Rugby division is currently our running and will continue where possible. This includes the following areas: Rugby residential, Cando Commercial, Wolford and rural customers.

Our Minot and Noonan divisions will be making routes up throughout the week, in hopes of not having to work on Saturday. Check back daily for updates on routes that will be made up. If possible please leave garbage out until we get to you.

We appreciate your patience with the weather. We may live in ND and can handle snow but this freezing rain and icy roads is a completely different story. Stay safe out there everyone.

We are still working on the water system but everyone can resume normal water usage, we are able to turn the water back on if the tower level gets low!

10/07/2025

Tomorrow, October 8th, City Maintenance and SoloTek will be making repairs and additions to the incoming water system.

At approximately 10:30 AM incoming water from Upper Souris Water will be shut off to isolate the system. The tower will be full at this time and no interruption of water service is expected.

However, if issues arise out of our control, residents may experience low or no water pressure. We will update when the work has been completed and system is back online. 

We ask that you limit water consumption to only essential use during this time. Please contact Dylan @ 701-339-2628 with questions or concerns.

Various intersections and streets will be closed around town during this time to perform the work, and let the fresh asphalt cure.
