A regional water system providing water to communities in southeast South Dakota and northwest Iowa awarded an $8.2 million contract Thursday for construction of 10 miles of a new pipeline near Sioux Center, Iowa.
The low bid, under the $11 million initially budgeted for the project, was submitted by Carstensen Contracting of Dell Rapids, South Dakota, Troy Larson, executive director of the Lewis &> Clark Regional Water System said in a news release.
Construction is expected to start this summer and extend west from Sioux Center.
