FORT PIERRE — The Fort Pierre City Council has made an about-face on action to apply for funding from the state revolving fund for a water storage tank. Mayor Gloria Hanson says moving forward on water improvements came more into focus after a public meeting Monday…
In order to be eligible for the state revolving fund, a project must be approved to the State Water Plan. Fort Pierre’s application for a storage tank was recently approved for the plan and will stay on the plan for two years. A new application will be needed for a treatment plant. Public Works Director Rick Hahn says doing both is too cost prohibitive…
Hahn says there could be more redundancy with a treatment plant…
The Fort Pierre City Council voted to rescind the action of Monday to make application to the state revolving fund for help paying for a water storage tank. The Council did not discuss a timeline for applying to add a treatment plant to the State Water Plan.
