Livingston City News Updates
Wellness Center Update
Aided by the recent warm weather, construction on the new Wellness Center continues on schedule. Last week, the crews got busy forming the lap pool! Later this month, they will turn their attention to the recreation pool as we await the fabrication of the wall panels so that vertical construction can begin.
The City and 4 Ranges Community Recreation Foundation still expect the facility to open in the Winter of 2026-27. The Foundation continues its drive to raise funds to support the Wellness Center and I am thankful for their help!
The wait is over... "Less Mow May" is BACK!
The City of Livingston encourages all residents to lend a helping hand to our pollinator friends as they start their busy season. The start of the growing season is a critical time for hungry, newly emerging bees but flowers are hard to find. By allowing grass to grow longer, and letting flowers bloom, your lawn can provide nectar, pollen and a place of refuge to help your bee neighbors thrive.
So, kick-back this weekend, enjoy the sun and watch that grass grow!
Get Your Green Cans Ready
The City of Livingston’s annual Green Can Collection Program runs from early May through the end of October, offering residents an eco-friendly way to dispose of yard waste. Collection occurs weekly, with pickups on Tuesdays for homes south of Park Street and Thursdays for those north of Park Street. Each can must display a current year sticker for collection.
Residents can enroll by calling Public Works at 406-222-5667.

Help Livingston Identify Lead Pipes
Public water systems nationwide are required to complete a service line inventory by November 1, 2027, to identify any lead pipes delivering drinking water to homes.
The City of Livingston is working with the Montana Departments of Commerce and Environmental Quality to complete this inventory, and we need your help. By checking the pipe that brings water into your home, you can help determine if it is made of lead, copper, galvanized steel, or brass. Look near your water shutoff valve and use a magnet and coin to test the pipe. A simple reference table is available online to guide you.
Once you have identified your pipe material, please complete the short online survey at bit.ly/liv-lsl. Your participation helps protect our water system and supports a lead-free Livingston.
Northtown Apartments PUD Under Review
The first application has been submitted under Livingston's Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance. The proposed residential community is planned for a 20-acre parcel on Scenic Trail. The project includes a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units plus a mixed-use building with space for neighborhood businesses.
The PUD application was presented to the Land Use Board in April. A video of the meeting and the full application are both available on the City's website.
I appreciate the community members that joined the conversation.
At the request of the Consolidated Land Use Board, the project team is working through an update to its traffic impact study. The City now expects that the application will go to the City Commission for consideration in June.
Thank You for Helping Us Clean!
The 2025 Spring Clean Up Event in Livingston is officially complete, and it was our biggest one yet. Over the course of five 10-hour days, a dedicated crew of 12 City Public Works employees collected more than 68,000 pounds of material! Nine pieces of equipment were used with one dump truck making an incredible 27 trips on its own.
Thank you to all Community members for your participation in our clean-up! Your efforts have helped make Livingston a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful place.
