Lewis and Clark Rural Water System in South Dakota

South Dakota x 15.520 is a rural-water join, not a connection census

This page pairs CFDA 15.520, LEWIS AND CLARK RURAL WATER SYSTEM, with South Dakota place of performance. The listing, in program language, funds a specific authorized regional water system. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $338,547,549.31 on 3 awards. The extract does not list miles of pipe, tap connections, or member systems. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more rural water need, and not a claim that 3 awards equal 3 towns.

Other Interior listings — Rocky Boy's water on 15.525, or different Reclamation codes — sit outside $338,547,549.31 unless they also carry 15.520. South Dakota’s Impact Aid and Indian Self-Determination joins on this slice are Education and IHS overlays, not water-system subsets. Mixing rural water with Impact Aid would invent a combined state figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and drought indices is not causation. Drought figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as South Dakota locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $338,547,549.31 in the state treasury.

3 awards behind $338.5 million

Mean obligation is about $112,849,183.10 if $338,547,549.31 were divided evenly across 3 lines. That ratio is not a published construction increment and not a cost per connection. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a count of member systems, miles, or households.

Three lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent contractor or member-system names. Open Lewis And Clark Rural Water System in South Dakota for the stored table. Do not convert 3 into a map of South Dakota tap connections. The $338,547,549.31 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not pipe already in the ground. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a connection census.

Questions

How much Lewis and Clark Rural Water System funding is obligated in South Dakota?

USAspending.gov shows $338,547,549.31 in obligations for CFDA 15.520 with South Dakota as place of performance, across 3 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not South Dakota’s full water budget. Other Interior listings are outside this join unless they also carry 15.520.

Do 3 awards mean 3 South Dakota towns received water funding?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a town or connection census. The packet does not name recipients. See the South Dakota 15.520 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this the same as Rocky Boy's regional water in Montana?

No. This page is CFDA 15.520, Lewis and Clark Rural Water System, tagged to South Dakota. Rocky Boy's/North Central Montana sits on CFDA 15.525 as a separate authorized system. Those dollars are not inside $338,547,549.31 unless the award also carries 15.520.

Is $339 million already spent on South Dakota water construction?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $338,547,549.31 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Construction draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
