VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A message from Dave Carlsrud the mayor of Valley City.

“The NORTH DAKOTA WINTER SHOW will be March 10-14. FREE ENTRANCE to the building.

A note from “the power outage” we incurred last month. There were a number of events creating the outage from supplementary power sources to timely notifications and they are being researched through the federal level. Though it was a “perfect storm”, knowledge gained from this experience will help going forward. “Never let a good crisis go to waste”.

Missouri River Energy Services, our supplier, successfully hedged the market purchasing energy and fuel prior to the weather event. Those purchases will help stabilize our current rates.

We had good ice on the river a few days ago, though now runoff has caused substantial amounts of water on top and changes in currents may have caused thinning ice in places. Please be careful. ICE always has a “degree of danger”
