The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is providing over $352 million dollars to improve access to clean drinking water in South Dakota.
The money will pay to clean the state’s drinking water by replacing lead pipes, improving wastewater infrastructure, and removing PFAS contamination, according to the Biden administration.
The money stems from a larger $6 billion investment by the federal government to expand clean drinking water access across the nation.
According to the South Dakota Democratic Party there is an additional $700 million dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act that could be allocated by the legislature this session for water projects across the state.
