Federal funds to support Larimore water pipeline project

By Doug Barrett Feb 12, 2021 | 8:46 AM

The Grand Forks County East Central Regional Water District has secured $733-thousand dollars to help construct a raw water transmission line.  The nine mile long line will link Larimore and the District’s water treatment plant.  The project will provide the District with access to an additional 500 acre-feet per year of raw water supply (29% supply increase) from the Elk Valley Aquifer.

The funding was awarded by the U-S Department of Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation.  Total cost of the project is pegged at $1.4 million dollars.

This raw water pipeline is supported by the District’s Long-Term Water Supply Drought Mitigation and Supply Redundancy Plan.

The award was announced by Senator Kevin Cramer’s office.
