Our mission
Reliable service, protected water, local control
The Blackfoot Crossing County Water & Sewer District exists to provide safe, dependable drinking water and responsible wastewater treatment to properties within its boundaries — at a fair cost, under transparent local governance, and in a way that protects public health and the environment for the long term.
As a public body, the district reinvests revenue into the systems that serve you rather than distributing profit. Rates are set to cover the true cost of operating, maintaining, and improving the water and sewer systems.

How we're organized
What a county water & sewer district is
A county water and sewer district is a local unit of government formed under Montana law (Title 7, Chapter 13) to build, own, and operate community water and sewer systems.
A public body
The district has authority to set rates and fees, adopt rules, borrow for capital projects, and enter contracts — all exercised in open, public meetings.
Governed by a board
A Board of Directors makes decisions on behalf of district property owners, adopts the annual budget, and hires the engineers and operators who run the systems.
Funded by its users
Operations are paid for by the rates users pay; major infrastructure is typically financed through special assessments, bonds, or grants rather than general taxes.
Leadership
Board of Directors
The board typically meets monthly. Meetings are open to the public — see the meeting schedule and agendas. To contact the board, use the district office.
Board terms: to be determined.
Legal basis
Authority & governing law
The district is organized and operates under the Montana county water and sewer district statutes, Title 7, Chapter 13, Parts 22–23, MCA. These statutes govern how the district is formed, how directors are chosen, how rates and assessments are set, and how the district may finance capital improvements. Day-to-day operations follow the district's own Bylaws, Rules & Regulations, and Resolutions, adopted by the board.
Water and wastewater design and treatment follow Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) standards, including the DEQ-1 (drinking water) and DEQ-2 (wastewater) circulars.
