Water Conservation Efforts - June 7

A truck-fill pump has been set up at Patterson Pit to support the agricultural community.

All agricultural water usage should come from this non-potable source to reduce the strain on the system during this high-demand time.

Contact the RM of Roland office with any questions or concerns.

Water Conservation Efforts - June 5

As directed by PVWC, for water conservation  EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - TRUCK FILL STATIONS at Roland and Myrtle are now SHUT OFF.

When PVWC has a pump set up at Patterson Pit for agriculture purposes, we will notify via social media and the RM of Roland website.

Dog Walking 101

• Always walk your dog on the leash, it is for their protection, as much as yours.
• Take a supply of doggie bags with you when you walk, or better yet, put a doggie bag dispenser on your leash, then you will never be caught unprepared.  Doggie bags are available at your local pet or dollar store, you can even choose bio-degradable or scented bags!

How to use a doggie bag

• Place your hand inside the bag, like you are putting on a glove.
• Make a claw-like circle with your fingers and then get as far under the "poo-pile" as possible before lifting up.
• As you are picking up the "treasure" with one hand, pull the top edge of the bag down and round with the other hand.
• The poo is contained, just tie a knot and dispose of the bag in your trash bin when you get home.

It works great,
no messy fingers or tools to clean
and...

Your Neighbors will love you!

Genealogy & Local History Resourses

Roland Roots

Most likely the best resource you will ever find for our area.   Worthy of praise, and Many Thanks to the individuals that work endlessly on this project.  

The Fairview, Bethel and Myrtle cemeteries, final resting places for many of the original settlers of the Roland area.   "The burial records found on this website are not limited to tombstone inscriptions, they reflect the information available from the records of each cemetery. It is acknowledged that despite every effort some burials may never be identified. A database has been included identifying wherever possible the names of the parents of the deceased and, if applicable, any spouse or children. Common ancestors are also included so relationships between those interred may be traced."
