Originally Valley City had a "Volunteer Evacuation". That changed to a "recommended evacuation". Now it's a "required evacuation". One of their lift stations gave out and the downtown area is being flooded with SEWER WATER. Yuck! Brown water is shooting out of man holes and any drain that wasn't previously plugged. ALL water usage is prohibited...and there is no sewer.
Even though the river has crested in Valley City...there is still a lot of pressure on the dikes which they continually patch. The same goes for Lisbon. The river is steady at the same height and will be for a couple weeks. ALL roads going out/in to town, except one, are under water. Lisbon's river water is starting to reach the Kindred area today
