SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The Lewis and Clark rural water system in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota will get $7 million dollars to support the expansion of the water system. It’s part of a total of $65 million dollars in funding for rural water projects for FY2024, as part of the Biden Administration’s investing in America agenda.

On October 10th, the water system’s board of directors awarded a nearly $8.5 million contract for the Sibley service line to metro construction from Tea, South Dakota. The line will include a 12-inch diameter PVC pipe for 17 miles.
