Western South Dakota Water Supply Project Feasibility Study Act

This bill would require the Secretary of the Interior, working with the Western Dakota Regional Water System, Inc., to study whether it is feasible to build a project that would bring municipal, rural, and industrial water from the Missouri River to that water system. After the study, the Secretary would write a report recommending whether the project should be approved for construction and what share of construction costs non-Federal parties should pay, which must be at least 25 percent. The report would go to congressional committees and be made public. The federal government would pay no more than 50 percent of the study's cost, $10 million would be authorized for the study, and the authority would end 10 years after the law takes effect.
