The failure of Congress to come up with a long-term budget has impacts on all federally funded projects.
Troy Larson, Executive Director of the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System, says they have to make their best guess from year to year……..
Larson says they hope to see their budget increase this year…..
He says inflationary costs add up to about six million dollars a year.
Larson says they are able to continue construction with money from their three service states…..
The project is just over two thirds done, and will supply drinking water to towns and cities in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota from wells near the Missouri River south of Vermillion.
