NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – Officials are tallying flood damage in Lincoln County, now that the floodwater levels are dropping.

County emergency manager Jim Nitz told KNOP that figures aren’t complete yet. But, he says, so far officials are estimating about $1 million in residential damage, about $250,000 damage to county roads and about
$350,000 in damage to the North Platte airport and the city.
Nitz says damage to wells and septic systems won’t be totaled
until floodwater levels drop further.
The county is developing a plan to help drain standing water
around the North Platte River.
