Landowners – both public and private – who make their land available without charge for recreational use by the public are not liable if a person is injured while using the land for recreational purposes.

It is that time of year again, when people walk the dog, jog or recreate on the ditch banks. Please be aware that most ditch banks are located on private property and it is trespassing. Please move aside if ditchriders are traveling on the ditchroad to perform their duties; and be respectful if a landowner asks you to not walk through their property. If you do so, you do it at your own risk.

We will be shutting off the A Line around noon today for some repairs. We plan of having it back on tomorrow to continue charging the system.
