PIERRE — In about a year, residents of Pierre should be drinking treated Missouri River water instead of manganese-loaded well water. Construction of a 37-point-five million dollar drinking water treatment plant is on track along the shores of the Mighty Mo. Pierre mayor Steve Harding says work to connect the plant to Pierre’s existing water distribution system recently hit a snag…
Harding says the city is also beginning to prepare to flush the city’s water system in preparation for the new plant’s water…
Harding says while the flushing takes place you may notice a change in water quality…
Harding says the flushing will use water from the well system and not the drinking water plant. The plant should be in operation by November of 2022.
