ISCO assists in record-breaking US rural water project
With population growth, drought and water restrictions, infrastructure in North America needs to be improved and expanded to ensure the provision of clean water to all residents.
In South Dakota, ISCO is assisting in the largest single-phase HDPE project in the history of North America.Working with the Randall Community Water District, Hausmann ConstructionGeneral Excavating, and Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc., ISCO provided 72 miles of 30inch HDPE pipe and fittings, along with the first of four McElroy T900 fusion machines, to support the construction of the Connecting Neighbors Regional Waterline Project. The project will connect Lake Andes and the Missouri River to Stickney, South Dakota and supply clean, reliable water to two existing customers and the city of Mitchell. For farmers and ranchers who have ageing wells and are faced with replacement costs in the low six figures, the new line will allow them to connect to a reliable system for around USD 3,000.
The project is targeting a December 2026 completion, and the estimated USD 110 million cost is supported by a USD 22.4 million ARPA grant, with the remainder financed through the State Revolving Fund loan programme. With ISCO and HDPE, South Dakota ensures a leak-free, sustainable solution tackling water insecurity and modernising aging infrastructure.
