Full Notification

The City is working in collaboration with the Custer County Water Sewer District, Public Health, Disaster Emergency Services and Montana Department of Enviromental Quality (DEQ) to return the systems to normal as soon as it is safe to do so.  We have been informed by the DEQ that the boil advisory will remain in effect for the mininum of a week.  
                                  ********************************
In collaboration with the City of Miles City, Custer County DES has secured a limited supply of bottled water for distribution to individuals who cannot boil their needed drinking water. A focused distribution site has been set up at the Custer County Fire Department, 200 Haynes Avenue.  This distribution site will be availalbe today, August 24th, starting at 8:00am until 1:00pm.  Again, this is set up for the purpose of distributing water to individuals who are unable to boil their drinking water.

If an individual in need of drinking water can not drive, they may ask a neighbor to pick up one case of water for each person in the household.  The individual picking up the water will simply be asked for the name and the street address of the person that they are picking up the water for.  Those who can boil their own supply of drinking water please continue to do so.
                                  *********************************
BOIL WATER ORDER is still in effect until further notice.  Please keep advising friends, elderly, neighbors and family members. 

Continue to boil water that will be consumed or used to wash dishes.  Bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and cool before using.  Bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and preparing food until further notice. You ARE ABLE to shower, do laundry and water yards or gardens.
