Lewis & Clark Regional Water System Expansion Feasibility Study Act

# Lewis & Clark Regional Water System Expansion Feasibility Study Act **What the Bill Does** This bill would authorize a feasibility study for expanding the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System, a water supply project that serves parts of South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska. The study would examine whether and how the system could be enlarged to deliver water to additional areas in the region that currently lack reliable water access. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects residents and communities in South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska who either currently use the Lewis & Clark system or could potentially benefit from an expansion.

It could also impact agricultural and industrial users in these states who depend on regional water supplies. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. No further action has been taken at this time.
