Diversion Flows to the Milk River have increased
The Cold spring and heavy low elevation snow in the headwaters and St Mary Diversion near Babb MT had delayed the diversion start up to the North Fork Montana. USBR crews spent nearly 2 weeks digging out miles of canal system for the anticipated season startup. From April 5th to April 11th the USBR was able to trickle approximately 50cfs into the system, but a turnout gate was damaged by ice above drop structure 5 requiring dewatering and repair. Repairs are now nearing completion.
