The current drought conditions have an impact on all of us in some way. There are many towns and cities around us that have implemented water restrictions and though this is not something that the City of Wilber plans to put in place at this time, it is something that could potentially happen if conditions do not improve. Therefore, we wanted to share the ordinance below with our residents so you are informed should something ever have to be put in place.

This ordinance covers drought conditions, regular maintenance to the town’s water system, or any other instance deemed an emergency by the Mayor.

(1) The City reserves the right to suspend the use of water for fountains, or for sprinkling yards, lawns, and gardens or for any other purpose whenever in the opinion of the Mayor the public exigency may require it. The Mayor is authorized and empowered to declare the existence of any emergency relating to the available water supply of the Municipal water system, and to impose restrictions on the use of water during such emergency. Whenever the Mayor shall determine that the remaining available water supply is critically low, from whatever cause, the Mayor may declare the existence of an emergency and impose reasonable restrictions on the use of such water. It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to observe any such restriction so imposed by the Mayor, provided public announcement of such restriction has been made. (2) The City may turn off the water supplied to the premises of any person who, after having been notified of the imposition of such emergency restrictions on the use of water, disregards such restrictions, and such supply of water shall not again be turned on until the cost for turning the water off and turning the water on has been paid to the municipality.

Give Your Furry Valentine The Gift of Protection

If you have a dog, it is a City of Wilber and State of Nebraska ordinance to license them. Review state statue below:

17-526 Dogs and other animals; license tax; enforcement.

Besides it being a requirement of the state and City of Wilber, licensing your dog actually provides a number of benefits to you and your pet.

  1. It proves that your dog and other dogs that yours comes in contact with are vaccinated. Hopefully your pup stays safe when out on walks and even in it’s own yard but should another dog attack, a license will identify if that dog was vaccinated, helping you and your vet to determine the next steps.
  2. Your dog has a better chance of being returned home if lost. In some communities, your pet’s license means a free trip home if they’re found by local animal control. Without a license, it might mean an expensive overnight stay at the municipal animal shelter.
  3. It is a small price to pay for the piece of mind of getting your pet home safe and sound. Even if your dog is not outside on a regular basis, there is always the chance of them slipping out. For only $6.50 (this fee is reviewed on a regular basis to make sure that our cost for tags, etc is covered) your pet would be registered with the City so know who to contact.
  4. It’s quick. You don’t even have to come into the office to register your pet. You can do it online or mail the form in if you’re busy for an additional $1.00 fee to mail the tag.
