The City’s Contractor, JEM Restoration, is set to begin work on repainting the steel girders under the bridge
on Ginger Cove Road on Monday, April 14th. The Contractor will sandblast the steel girders under the bridge
decking and then apply a new coat of paint on the steel girders while protecting the water from any
contaminants. Construction is expected to last 6 weeks, weather permitting, and will be opened to boat traffic
by Memorial Day weekend, May 23rd.
Access across the bridge will remain open at all times, however, access to the lake channel below the bridge
will be closed during the construction due to the containment blanket and workers access to the bridge. We
appreciate your patience and cooperation during the project.

Christie Donnermeyer, City Clerk
We understand the frustration residents are experiencing as they receive their April utility bills. The City was forced to increase rates to continue operating the water and wastewater systems due to rising costs, and we acknowledge the impact this has on you. The main change you are facing is the update to charge for all usage instead of only over 2,000 or 3,000 gallons.
The rate studies used to determine the rates, which are necessary to cover the costs of running the systems, including Fremont rate increases, ongoing maintenance, and planned water system upgrades, can be viewed online through the link below.
If you have additional questions, please contact the utility clerk at cityoffice@valleyne.org or 402-359-2251, ext 301.
The City of Valley Public Works department will be collecting tree debris on Friday, March 28th, and Monday, March 31st, from 8 AM until 3 PM.
PeopleService will begin flushing fire hydrants starting Monday, March 24 for two weeks. You may notice your water could be discolored for a short period of time. Simply run your faucet for up to 30 minutes to flush it out. If you have additional questions, please call or email us!
The City of Valley Public Works department will make rounds Friday, March 28th, and Monday, March 31st, from 8 AM until 3 PM, collecting wind-blown tree limbs..
Due to power loss in parts of Valley, the major lift stations have been placed on generators. To help maintain system stability, we ask that you limit water usage until 6:00 PM CST today. This includes reducing activities like laundry, dishwashing, and excessive water use.
We appreciate your cooperation as we work to manage the situation and restore normal operations. Updates will be provided as needed.
Thank you for your understanding.
