A $1.1 billion, 125-mile-long pipeline project will eventually bring much-needed Missouri River water to communities in central and eastern North Dakota and help ensure the economic vitality of a region challenged for more than a century by limited water sources.
Construction of the Red River Valley Water Supply Project began in December 2020. When the buried pipeline is completed, it’s projected to deliver 107 million gallons of water per day to more than 30 communities and rural water systems, says Duane DeKrey, general manager of the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District, which is supervising the project.
