A Message from Box Elder County Commissioners and Box Elder County Roads Department

Monday, March 15, 2023

We are seeing minor flooding in Northern Box Elder County. Box Elder County is known for our compassionate, resilient communities. Our citizens and communities are always willing to lend a helping hand and ready to answer the call when needed.

Our County Commissioners have requested that our citizens take a moment tonight to check in with neighbors, especially those who are elderly and those who may need a little extra help. If your house is *not* experiencing flooding/water issues, please help your neighbor.

An update from our Roads Department--

A portion of the road going to Stone, Idaho through Snowville is closed due to road damage. There is a detour, please watch for signs. There are other various spots in the County where we have signs warning of water on the roadways. Please slow down in these areas, and do not cross a flooded roadway.

Some of our cities/towns have made sandbags available for those with immediate flooding needs. If you are experiencing emergent flooding, please reach out to your town or city for assistance.

If you live in unincorporated Box Elder County and need assistance due to emergent flooding, please contact Dispatch on the non-emergency line at 435-257-3131.
