What this bill would do

This bill, known as the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System Expansion Feasibility Study Act, directs the Secretary of the Interior to study a proposed water project. The goal of the study is to determine if it is feasible to expand the capacity and reach of the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System. This expansion would supply water to municipal, rural, and industrial users in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. The Secretary must coordinate with the non-Federal project entity and various authorities during this process. Following the study, a feasibility report containing a construction recommendation and cost-sharing details must be submitted to Congress and made public.
