Abstract:

The proposed Lewis and Clark Rural Water System (L&CRWS) is a treated, bulk water delivery system. Membership includes twenty-two communities and rural water systems in southeastern South Dakota, northwestern lowa and Southwestern Minnesota. Missouri River water will be used to supply L&CRWS. A project construction budget of $282.9 million is proposed. An Ability to Pay and Willingness to Pay study completed by the Bureau of Reclamation will be used by project sponsors in seeking a cost share arrangement with state and federal governments. Additionally, a Tax Revenue Analysis conducted by the Bureau of Reclamation estimates tax revenues that can be generated in each state due to the construction of L&CRWS.
