Irrigation pivot plan raises easement and reservoir questions at Culbertson council meeting

Miles Knudsen told Mayor James Baldwin he was exploring running an irrigation pivot over the road to the water treatment plant and asked whether the town's easement would allow it. Miles said that if the easement did not permit the pivot, he would prefer to move the road. He also said he thought the town was to remove old reservoirs when they were no longer in use and asked whether the town planned to do so; if not, he requested permission to remove them himself with council approval.

Council members suggested obtaining a Soil Conservation Service (SCS) map to determine property and easement boundaries before any action. No formal decision or vote was recorded; the minutes show the matter was left with a request for mapping information to clarify options.
