​DMSD All water users/property owners, please check your properties for any possible leaks that may have resulted from the recent extreme cold weather.  Our System Operator has expressed concern in regards to this as  the system is struggling to meet the current demands and this is a possible indication that there may be properties with bursted or leaking water lines.  Conserve water when possible.

The subdivision roads have been plowed.  Snow totals are yet to be determined but this was a 4 day winter storm.  From the City of Lead Facebook page:
The National weather service has lifted all weather warnings. The emergency travel restrictions will be lifted at noon today. Necessary travel is allowed. Please watch for snow removal equipment.

​As always, please check South Dakota 511 before traveling.

For the meeting tonight, see the update from President Enderby:
The DMSD trustee meeting scheduled for today 12/16 2022 at 3pm will be a virtual meeting only.  The trustees can not travel to our office in Lead as Lead has informed us that there is no travel in Lead due to the recent storms.  Dan and I will attend virtually from our house and the votes will be counted this afternoon prior to the meeting.  Any questions please let me know.
