Measuring the need
Ensuring long term water security for western South Dakota will be a challenging feat. However, the ARPA grant and other funds secured by the WDRWS Board of Directors and staff provides a unique opportunity to overcome the most challenging part of providing long term, reliable water service to the region. We are taking the first step by seeking answers to some initial questions shown below. The funding already secured for this project will help answer these questions and much more. However, it will be essential for the project to have broad support and participation from water systems across the region. This canvassing of communities is an ongoing project.
