Supporters of the Red River Valley Water Supply Project will be asking The North Dakota legislature to commit $255 million dollars during the 2023 session.
The Grand Forks council received an update on the plan last night (Monday). The presentation also included several models to illustrate how a drought might impact Grand Forks based on future growth and needs. The analysis also took into account the proposed Fufeng corn milling plant.
Grand Forks currently blends its water supply with a heavy emphasis on the Red Lake River. Engineer Steve Burian serves as consultant with Garrison Diversion. Burian says the reliance on the Red Lake River is due in large part to quality issues.
The latest Red River Valley Water Supply project agreement is expected to come before the council before the end of the year.
