50-second read · 5 questions answered below
The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to study expanding the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System's capacity and reach to serve more towns, rural areas, and businesses in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. After the study, the Secretary must issue a report recommending whether to approve construction and how costs should be split between local users and the federal government.
Residents, farmers, and businesses in the three-state region served by the system, along with federal and state agencies, Tribal governments, and local authorities consulted during the study.
Whether the expansion proceeds depends on the study's findings and the cost-sharing terms, so no new water access is guaranteed yet.
