Study for South Dakota water supply from Missouri River would begin.
This bill would require the Department of the Interior to study if a project to bring water from the Missouri River to the Western Dakota Regional Water System is possible. If passed, the study would determine if the project should be built and how much local groups would need to pay. This could eventually lead to a new water source for communities and businesses in Western South Dakota.
Today, there is no federal requirement for a study on bringing Missouri River water to the Western Dakota Regional Water System. If this bill passes, the Department of the Interior would be required to conduct such a study, produce a public report with recommendations, and has $10,000,000 authorized for this effort.
