Referred to the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries.

2026-04-22

The federal government would fund a study to examine whether the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System in the Upper Midwest can be expanded to serve more communities and agricultural areas. Researchers would evaluate the technical, environmental, and financial feasibility of growing this water supply network that currently serves parts of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. The study would help determine if expansion is practical and what it might cost before any actual construction decisions are made.
