(On Tuesday)<\/p>\n One of the High-Pressure Pumps turned on dumping high pressure into our Zone 1 which is about 85% of the town causing over pressure on pipes and exposing weaknesses in the old cast iron pipes. Anything that was PVC pipe held up.<\/p>\n An example is the pipe on 3rd Street in front of the Post Office had a baseball size hole. It\u2019s a cast iron pipe that was put in in 1921 and is scheduled to be replaced in 2023.<\/p>\n The important thing to know is that our Public Works was on top of things and as soon as any break was discovered the break was isolated therefore assuring no contamination.<\/p>\n Required testing was done by the State confirming that there was no chemical or bacterial contamination and that everything was safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Public Works and Water Plant staff need to be commended on their hard work and to see them in action and work as a Team over the different departments is something to see.\u201d<\/p>\n 5 main breaks.<\/p>\n 4th Ave 4th St NE<\/p>\n 3rd Street NE (next to Post Office)<\/p>\n 2nd Street NW (West side of Wells Fargo)<\/p>\n 700 block of 3rd Street NW<\/p>\n 8th Ave near Petro Serve USA<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Previously….<\/p>\n Valley City\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0\u00a0 On Thursday afternoon, the Boil Water Order, was lifted in Valley City.<\/p>\n The boil water advisory is now cancelled and is no longer necessary<\/p>\n After sampling and testing of the water from multiple areas throughout town, no contamination was found.<\/p>\n The precautionary boil water advisory was issued on Tuesday this week\u00a0 stemming from a drop in water pressure when multiple water main breaks were reported in Valley City.<\/p>\n Daily coronavirus data in North Dakota set four records on Friday, as active cases of COVID-19 neared 3,000, deaths continued to mount in Burleigh County, and the state issued an emergency call for volunteer staffing at long-term care facilities that are seeing a surge in cases.

He praised Sen. John Hoeven for his leadership and action in securing the funding as chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Committee.<\/p>\n Watne add, \u201cThis funding will help farmers keep afloat, there\u2019s no question about it, but our growing reliance on ad hoc support is not a sustainable solution.\u00a0 In the long term, we need to restore competition in the marketplace, address chronic overproduction, and create a strong and stable farm safety net.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamestown (NDFU)\u2013 N\u00adorth Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) broke ground Friday on a new youth camp facility that will be built on 19 acres of land at the Jamestown Reservoir. <\/span><\/p>\n
