One specific project is the F-M Diversion. The measure allocates $435.5 million for the diversion. I know it will take a few years to get that done, House Majority Leader Chet Pollert (R-Carrington) said during an interview with Prairie Public. But if we can get that off the table, we can start looking at the Red River Water Supply, because that s going to bring water to a lot of rural communities.
The Red River Valley Water Supply project would tap into the Missouri River to feed the Red during times of drought. The FM Diversion is such a big prorject, it s holding us back on what we need to do on other projects, Pollert said. I myself am kind of tired of dojng a little bit here and there. Let s get the Diversion out of the way, and start working on these other projects.
