$105 million S. Dakota water pipeline project to begin construction spring of 2025
According to The Daily Republic, A water pipeline initiative in Mitchell, S.D. recently awarded construction contracts for the project, with construction set to begin spring of 2025.
Named the ‘Connecting Neighbors Regional Waterline Project,’ the $105 million planned pipeline will supply clean water to existing customers and to the city of Mitchell as a secondary water source, The Daily Republic reported.
The district awarded Hausmann Construction-General Excavating Joint Venture, in collaboration with Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc., the design-build services contract for the construction of a high-capacity water transmission line. In addition, the district awarded the construction risk contract to complete improvements at the Platte Treatment facility.
ID8 Architecture will provide architectural design and lead a team of professional service providers for the treatment plant building addition.
Construction will involve building a 72-mile high-capacity water transmission pipeline that will carry water from the Missouri River to southeastern South Dakota.
Scott Pick, general manager for the Randall Community Water District, told The Daily Republic that the project will also include treatment plant upgrades, associated water storage, pumping and infrastructure components.
