Lower Box Elder Road closed at Rocky Boy

The situation is improving at Rick Boy's Indian Reservation, but there is still work to do, officials said Friday afternoon.

Lower Box Elder road is restricted to one lane — for residential traffic.

All other traffic is urged to stay away, said Tony Woods, spokesman for the Chippewa Cree Media Group.

A boil water order is still in effect for people on the reservation who use wells.

Officials fear the flooding may have made the water unsafe.

Almost 300 wells have not been tested yet.
