Valley City installed a temporary sewer pipe over the weekend. This sewer pipe does not support the city. Officials still ask people to conserve water, and not use drains (showers, toilets, sinks). There are hundreds of port-a-potties around town for residents to use.
This morning the city mandated that all non-essential businesses must remain closed for the week. The closure will help the sewer system and keep traffic to a minimum. Essential businesses are hospital, pharmacies, grocery stores, and gas stations.
