Text-to-9-1-1 Option Available in South Dakota
PIERRE, S.D. – Text-to-9-1-1 is now available throughout South Dakota.
Wireless cell phone customers in South Dakota can text to 9-1-1 when they can’t call in an emergency. The text, like a phone call, will be routed to a local 9-1-1 dispatch center.
“Text-to-9-1-1 should only be used in an emergency when you can’t call 9-1-1,” said Craig Price, cabinet secretary for the South Dakota Department of Public Safety. “The Text-to-9-1-1 option would be good to use if speaking out loud would put the caller in danger or if the caller is deaf, hard-of-hearing or speech impaired.”
Text-to-9-1-1 is not yet 100 percent activated in Todd County. People texting 9-1-1 in that county will receive a message stating that text service is unavailable and they will be directed to make a 9-1-1 call instead.
People who are unable to call 9-1-1, should remember these steps about Text to 9-1-1:

The mill levies for the 2020 taxes (payable in 2021) have been published. For the eighth year in a row most tax districts have seen a reduction in the mill levy. However, the reduction was smaller than it has been in recent years.
Tax District 39 (City of Edgemont) saw a 1% increase in their owner occupied mill levy and a 0.5% increase in non-owner occupied (which includes commercial). The increase was caused by an increase in the city’s portion of the mill levy. Tax District 6 (City of Hot Springs) had 0% change to the owner occupied mill levy and a 0.3% decrease to the non-owner occupied. This was an increase in the school mill and a decrease in the city, county and ambulance mills that canceled each other out.
For information on other tax districts please see the full list of mill levies below.
