Falls City is Reopening Safely

COVID-19 has required us all to take a high level of precaution in our daily lives. Closures were temporarily required and, now, some things are starting to open back up again. But, it’s important that we open safely and take the necessary steps to ensure that our community doesn’t have an outbreak. 

The Mayor and City Council has been thoughtful and has carefully considered what to open and how, in accordance with guidance put out by Governor Ricketts and health professionals. We appreciate their leadership and willingness to tackle these issues, because they are not easy. 

Falls City Aquatic Center Open

When opening the aquatic center, the Council decided to limit the number of patrons at any given time, require signup the day before, and temperature checks before entering. In addition, swimmers have been required to shower before getting out on the swim deck and seating has been removed. These general rules are in addition to increased cleaning measures taking place throughout the day. Click to read a full list of guidelines.
