Bill > S3725

This bill, titled the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System Expansion Feasibility Study Act, requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study to determine if it's practical to build a project that would supply municipal, rural, and industrial water to expand the capacity and reach of the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System, Inc., which operates in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. The study will result in a feasibility report with recommendations on whether the project should be authorized for construction and what the non-Federal share of construction costs should be, which must be at least 25 percent. The Secretary will also consult with various government entities and make the report publicly available, with the federal government covering no more than 50 percent of the study's costs, and $10 million is authorized for this purpose, with the authority to conduct the study expiring 10 years after the bill becomes law.
