The City of New Salem Will Soon Ask for Your Help!

 

The State of North Dakota is working to get the lead out of the state’s drinking water pipes and the City of New Salem and its residents are being called upon to help.

 

New Salem is working with AE2S, an engineering consultant, to determine if there is lead in any of the public water infrastructure that delivers water to properties. We will soon ask for your help to identify whether your home or business has lead pipes. It will be a simple test and survey that will take less than 10 minutes to complete. If lead is found within New Salem’s public pipes or private property, we will work with the State of North Dakota to seek funding to remove and replace lead infrastructure.

 

Please look for a letter in February 2024 with information about testing your pipe and completing the survey. We need everyone’s assistance to accomplish this important task! The City of New Salem is committed to partnering with the community to ensure our water is lead-free.

 

Funding for this project is provided through a contractual agreement between the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and AE2S.

The draft of the 2020 Morton County Multi-Jurisdictional Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is now available for review.  The draft is available on the Morton County, City of Glen Ullin, Hebron, Mandan, and New Salem websites.  A printed copy is also available at the Morton County Office of Emergency Management in the Morton County Courthouse in Mandan.

 

A public hearing to accept comments on the draft plan will be held from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 3, 2020, at the Mandan Rural Fire Station at 3014 34th St. NW in Mandan.  The public hearing will review the draft plan, results from the mitigation survey, and public comments received.  The public hearing will officially close at 6:30 p.m., and will be followed by a Steering Committee meeting immediately thereafter.

 

The Steering Committee will review comments received, approve participation by local jurisdictions, and approve the draft plan to be submitted to the N.D. Dept. of Emergency Services (NDDES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval.  Once the plan receives approval pending-adoption, each incorporated jurisdiction included in the plan must pass an adoption resolution before an official approval letter from FEMA is issued.

New Salem's Yard of the Week
The "Yard of the Week" recognition began in 2010 as an attempt to appreciate the beautiful summer yards in the city of New Salem.  A "Yard of the Week" sign is placed in the designated yard for one week from Monday to Sunday. An announcement and photos of the yard appear in the New Salem Journal each week. The campaign begins the first week of July and ends the first week of September. The judges are anonymous, change annually and are not members of the Betterment Committee. Committee member's yards are not eligible for yard of the week. 
 
We encourage all the citizens of New Salem to add to the beauty and welcoming appearance of our community by keeping their yards clean and neat. Our intention is not so much to designate the most beautiful yards each year, but to appreciate the variety of yards and the effort made to make the yards pleasing and eye-catching. There are many wonderfully beautiful and well kept yards in New Salem. There are so many, in fact, that we have yet to repeat.
 
Anyone is welcome to assist the Committee by nominating a yard. Notify a committee member and the information will be passed on to the judges for consideration.
To pictures and information on previous  "Yard of the Week" winners, visit the Community Betterment's portion of this website.
