PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Valley Contractor, Vrba Construction, Inc., will be replacing old water main pipes in along Reichmuth Road, Alexander Street, Charles Street, Whittingham, Lakewood, and Waring Streets as highlighted below. The Contractor will install new water main pipe, make connections to existing pipes, and connection existing residential water services. This project is part of the City’s overall plan to replace aging infrastructure, improve the water quality and provide reliable service delivery to the residents. Construction is expected to start the week of June 29th and last until the mid-September.

Construction will require portions of the streets or sidewalks to be closed but access to homes will be maintained unless directly contacted. Residents are advised to use caution throughout the construction zones and follow temporary traffic control signs throughout the construction process. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during the project.

FACTS
• Existing water main age back to the early 1900’s
• New PVC water main will replace cast iron water main
• Brief interruptions in the water service will occur. Affected residents will be notified in advance before any shut-offs occur. Unforeseen disruptions may occur, the Contractor will be on-site immediately to restore water service.
• Open cut trench and horizontal boring will be the installation techniques used on the project.
• Surface restoration, including concrete replacement and turf grass, will occur after the work is complete.

Did you know the average sprinkler head pushes out 5 gallons of water every minute! Take a moment to think about how many sprinkler heads you have and how many zones you run. You can help conserve water by adjusting your sprinkler settings and total watering time!

We need your help completing the Cross Connection survey!  Currently, we are only at 22%.  Our goal is to have 100% of this survey completed as soon as possible!  This survey MUST be completed by every resident, every 5 years.

Cross-Connection Survey

The State and EPA requires every home to evaluate for cross connection/backflow possibilities. This is done by completing the cross-connection survey that is being sent out by City Hall.

Cross connection contamination can happen when the water mains pressure is less than the connection and the flow can be reversed, introducing a contaminant to the public water system. Examples are sprinkler systems, boilers, pools etc. This survey allows a review of all connections to better protect our public water against back flow. 

Please complete this survey as soon as possible to help protect your water source!  Questions?  Reach out to Mike Adair, Region Manager with PeopleService 402-677-3781

Per Ordinance 828:

If a customer experienced a water leak during December 2025, January 2026, or February 2026 that resulted in unusually high water usage, they may be eligible to appeal their sewer rate. Appeals must be submitted within 60 days of the May billing and must include proof of repair.

Sewer Consumption Appeal

The final deadline to submit an appeal is June 30, 2026.

The City Administrator, Utility Clerk, and an appointed Council member will meet with the customer to review the usage history. If approved, the adjusted sewer rate will be based on either the prior year’s rate or the average rate for a household of similar size—whichever is lower. The customer will be notified of the decision in writing, and any approved rate adjustment will take effect in the next billing cycle.

City Offices will be closed Friday, 05/29/2026 from 8a-12p for CPR/First Aid Training.
