(BUTTE, Mont.) – Water is flowing once again at the Bureau of Land Management’s Divide Campground thanks to a recent upgrade to the site’s water system.
The campground southwest of Butte, which had been closed for the maintenance work, is now re-open, said Kelly Scarbrough, Supervisory Outdoor Recreation Planner with the Butte Field Office.
“The new well will be used for potable water to meet Montana Department of Environmental Quality standards,” Scarbrough noted. “The original well will remain there, but will only be used for irrigation.”
When the new water system is turned on just prior to the 2018 summer recreation season, the 21 RV/camping pads will have access to four potable water hydrants distributed throughout the campground, Scarbrough added. Campers can use the potable water to fill up jugs, but they cannot connect their RVs directly to the hydrants.
