Progress Continues on Lewis and Clark Regional Water System

Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007

Even though the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System rejected bids for their water treatment plant, because they came in too high, that doesn’t mean progress has stopped.

Executive Director Troy Larson says some other big contracts were accepted.

Those contracts totaled about six point four million dollars.

Larson says most of those contracts are for work near their well field south of Vermillion.

Larson says the bank work is kind of unique.

The water system is being built to pipe water to towns and cities in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota.

The total cost is now estimated at about 500 million dollars.
