Description
In March 1974, a preliminary steering committee began soliciting water use information and $25 good intention fees from rural residents. Cliff Jacobson of Sioux Valley Empire Electric Association and the Brookings, Kingsbury, Lake and Miner County Extension Services agencies provided information and assistance. By July 1974, DeWild Grant Reckert and Associates Company (DGR) was retained to study the project area ’s needs and prepare a preliminary report and feasibility study.The preliminary engineering report was completed and accepted in December 1974. The steering committee then forwarded the report to the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) for funding consideration. With over 1,500 water user locations signed up and a preliminary cost estimate of $8 million, FmHA felt the entire system could be completed sooner if financed and constructed in phases, rather than waiting for sufficient funds to do the entire system at once.
