Waverly Dam Meeting

A public question and answer session will be held in Waverly to offer information and take questions about a proposed dry dam along Ash Hollow Creek.

The structure, estimated to cost $2.8 million, would be designed to hold back water temporarily during heavy rains.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Waverly officials estimate the project would move more than 100 homes and 35 businesses out of the 100-year flood plain.

Waverly and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District are considering the feasibility of a dry dam.

The project would take up about 141 acres.

The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday at Waverly Middle School.
