Welcome to Bois de Sioux Watershed District!

  • Happy Growing Season! This is a friendly reminder to keep your tile pump(s) off until local flooding has crested. Once crested, please check that downstream ditches and creeks are flowing within their banks before turning on your tile pump(s). If you see a home or farmstead in the watershed district that is threatened by flooding because of culverts/ditches blocked by debris, please contact our office.


Office Hours

  • Staff are available during regular office hours, Monday thru Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM at 320/563-4185. Currently, there are no delays to permit processing or responding to drainage ditch issues.
