The City’s Contractor, Vrba Construction, is set to begin construction on new water main pipe along Park Avenue between the park entrance and Whittingham Street, and along Platte Street between Valley Street and Gardiner Street on Monday, June 16th. The contractor will install new water main pipe, make connections to existing pipes, and connection existing residential water services to the new system.

Access to homes will be maintained with limited restrictions during time of construction While both Park Avenue and Platte Street will be limited to one lane access. Residents are advised to use caution throughout the construction zones as utility trenches will be dug and open throughout the construction process. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during the project.

On Wednesday, June 4th, during a routine scheduled testing of the emergency response system, siren number 104 malfunctioned and would not turn off remotely. The Douglas County Emergency Management Agency (DCEMA) dispatched a maintenance worker to make repairs. During the repair process, Valley remained covered by surrounding sirens. This morning, DCEMA notified the City administrator that the repair is complete and Siren 104 is back operational.

Thank you to Aaron Alward with DCEMA for the fast response and speedy repairs.

🎉 Celebrating 146 Years of Community and Progress at Valley’s City Park! 🌳

Established in 1879, the City Park of Valley, Nebraska has long stood as a cherished gathering place for our community. Now, 146 years later, June 5th, 2025, we proudly celebrate a new chapter with the completion of Phase One of our park beautification projects!

This milestone is especially meaningful as it marks the culmination of efforts led by Mayor Grove and the past 16 years by our newly retired Public Works Superintendent, Doug Eggen. Doug’s dedication and vision have helped shape the park into the vibrant space we enjoy today.

At the heart of the park, since December 12, 1988, stands a proud symbol of American aviation history — a Republic F-84 Thunder Jet, on loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force. It continues to inspire generations with its presence.

This transformation was made possible through a collaborative effort with our incredible partners:

✨ Special Thanks To:

• Papio Natural Resource District 
• JEO Consulting Group & JEO Architecture 
• Meco-Henne Contracting 
• Metro Area Planning Agency 

Among the exciting new additions are a brand-new pickleball court, a basketball court, a new sand volleyball pit, and three new pavilions equipped with handicapped-accessible picnic tables, built by Meco-Henne, offering a fresh way for residents to stay active and connected.

This celebration is not just about a park — it’s about community, legacy, and the future. Thank you to everyone who played a role in making this vision a reality. Here’s too many more years of memories made in Valley’s City Park!

On Wednesday, May 28th, there was a break on the 12" main on Meigs Street. On Thursday morning, we shut down the 12" and started excavation. During excavation, People Service discovered a fiber line within inches of the water main.

When the fiber line was bored, evidence suggests that it struck the water main, causing damage but not enough to break it at the time. It finally broke and blew a hole in the sewer main, damaging the street's integrity in the process.

This process has taken longer than most broken line replacements because both water and sewer lines required repairs, along with the street repairs.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the repair process.
