According to a social media post from the Milk River Project (MRP), the St. Mary siphon on the St. Mary Canal in Babb, MT, suffered a catastrophic failure while Reclamation personnel were monitoring a crack. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the damage is extensive.
MRP said the was shut down prior to the failure, but the hillside, Hook’s Hide-Away bar, hotel, and roping arena have all been significantly impacted with the water. They are also asking everyone to please stay out of the area as we are unsure of the extent of the damages. Stay safe, everyone, and keep an eye out for updates.
Northern Ag Network has voicemails out to those familiar with the matter and will update you as soon as we know more information.
