Living in Sedan, MT: what to set up and who to call

Sedan has no town government of its own, so Gallatin County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Shields Valley Elementary School District. Power in Sedan comes from Park Electric Coop, a cooperative utility rather than a private company.
