Lincoln-Pipestone Rural Water System capital projects prior appropriation amendment

This bill amends a state appropriation to provide $11.5 million in funding for the Lincoln-Pipestone Rural Water System. The funds are designated for specific projects, including $4 million for water source and treatment improvements to reduce nitrate and other contaminants, $2.5 million for facility upgrades in Fortier Township, and $5 million for acquiring land and building new water storage and distribution infrastructure. A key provision extends the deadline for spending these funds to December 31, 2028, allowing the system more time to complete the planned construction and design work.
