June 20, 2019

Stevensville, MT – The Town of Stevensville is asking residents to implement water conservation practices beginning Thursday, June 20th at 5:00pm. On Monday morning, the public works department began addressing the failure of a well pump in the Town’s well field adjacent to the Twin Creeks neighborhood. Public Works Director George Thomas reported that the pump failure was due to sand in the well. A separate well had failed a second time nearly a year ago because of the same problem and is still not operational at this time.

Town Council President Bob Michalson has canceled the regularly scheduled Town Council Meeting for 6/27/2019. Mr. Michalson states that the Town Council Rules were not followed in publishing the agenda and council packet. 

water restrictions logo

Water use restrictions that were implemented on Thursday June 20th, remain in effect due to an additional well-pump failure in the Twin Creeks Well-field. The failure occurred in the morning hours of June 28, 2019. 

Well Worker

Public Works reported at 4:00am Saturday morning that the reservoir was just over half of capacity. As of noon Saturday, storage had decreased and was holding at half. Pumps are producing approximately 400 gallons per minute. 

Free admission notice

If you’re a City Resident that’s trying to keep cool but under water restrictions, we have a treat for you!

The Town of Stevensville is offering free admission to households on the water system who are impacted by the current water use restrictions. Here’s the details:

⛱ You must show proof of residency, by providing any utility bill or other documentation that shows you currently reside in city limits or have city water services. Offer is good for all members in a single household. 

sprinkler image

On Monday, July 1st, contractors were on-site at the Twin Creeks Well Field installing a pump into one of the high-production wells. By the end of the day, that pump had been installed and Public Works began re-filling the critically low reservoir. Filling the reservoir continued into Tuesday, and officials are comfortable with the storage capacity. A pump will be installed in another well on Wednesday. This will bring a total of 4 wells back on to the system, which will adequately supply both storage, and system use. 

Watering regulation days and hours

Water restrictions have been in place since June 20th, and the Stevensville Public Works Department has determined that water restrictions can be lifted effective 12:01a.m. Friday, July 5th.

Standard watering regulations will remain in effect, however. Standard sprinkler regulations will continue be enforced and residents and businesses are required to set their sprinkler timers to water within the allowed days and times. Those who begin watering on Friday, must comply with the above regulations.

Hello Everyone, the 4th of July is approaching and here at the town of Stevensville we have some news to pass along. 

After speaking with coordinators for the 4th of July celebration this year there will not be a fireworks show due to funding. This year they collected $5,000.00. Last year the 4th of July fireworks cost the non-profit organization $8,000. This year the fireworks would have cost them $16,000. So, due to fundraising falling short and inflation prices on fireworks this years show will not be happening. 

Hope that everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July.
