UPDATE FOR ARSENIC 2006
05.11.2006

Phase IV – Segment 1
City Update

The Arsenic Trioxide Superfund project (ATS) continues to progress within the cities of Wyndmere and Hankinson. Work on construction on the water reservoirs and installation of the pipeline to the two cities are nearing the end. The cities of Wyndmere and Hankinson will be served bulk water by Southeast Water Users District (SEWUD). The cities will be responsible for distribution of that water to their residents. The rates will be set by the cities themselves.

Segment 2 of the ATS project deals with the expansion of the water treatment plant and the well fields of SEWUD. There will be a bid opening May 31, 2006 at 11:00 p.m. at the Mantador office.

Rural Update

Unfortunately there is no news to report here. The rural hook ups are still contingent on the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision. SEWUD is still taking sign ups for the ATS project at the office. If you interested and are in the projected arsenic area, please give us a call at 701-242-7432 or 800-400-8888.

City of LaMoure

SEWUD is also working on supplying the city of LaMoure with rural water. By a vote of the residents of that city, rural water will be constructing a 100,000 gallon reservoir and trenching in around 30 miles of pipeline to the city from the Lisbon water treatment plant. There is a bid opening date set in February of 2007.
