The Central Plains Water Development District has granted the City of Pierre $100,000 to use toward engineering costs and inspection fees for the town’s new drinking water treatment facility.
CPWDD manager Lynnette Eckert says they’re pleased to contribute to this project that will ensure modern water service in Pierre for decades to come.
In June 2018, voters living in Pierre were asked if the City should spend more than $37 million to replace its current well system with a drinking water treatment facility. More than 70% said yes. After two years of planning and design, in August this year, the City of Pierre broke ground on a $37.5 million treatment facility located on the western edge of Pierre. The project is scheduled for completion in 2022.
