Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to study whether two proposed water supply projects are feasible, one for the Western Dakota Regional Water System and one to expand the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. It also allows the Secretary to study a third project for the Dakota Mainstem Regional Water System service area in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota. For the first two studies, the Secretary must issue public reports recommending whether to build each project, with non-federal partners paying at least 25 percent of construction costs. The federal government would pay no more than half of each study's cost. The bill authorizes $10 million for each study, and the authority ends after 10 years.
