South Dakota water plant may miss stimulus package

Contracts for a South Dakota water treatment plant will not be bid out until May at the earliest because of federal oversight rules, according to officials. Design work on the $95 million plant is already completed. Officials also say the plant may not be able to participate in a possible economic stimulus package that would fund infrastructure improvements. "May might be a little too late to catch that, but it's the earliest we can bid it," said Lewis & Clark Executive Director Troy Larson. "We've done what we can. Because we're getting 80% of our money from the federal government, the Bureau of Reclamation needs to review the plans."
