| The North Dakota National Guard says it`s working to reinforce an emergency spillway near the Cottonwood Creek Dam at Lake LaMoure. The Guard says LaMoure County asked for help late Saturday night. The Guard says more than 100 1-ton sandbags have been dropped, and bulldozers have been pushing rock into the spillway. In Valley City, officials say 423 homes have been evacuated while the city works on its sewer system. The system was overwhelmed by the Sheyenne River last week, and people in the community of 7,000 were advised to leave while it`s being fixed. The National Weather Service says the Sheyenne has dropped under its 20-foot record in Valley City, but it`s expected to stay around 19 feet this week. |
