Lewis and Clark Rural Water System federal funding in South Dakota

The Lewis and Clark Rural Water System (CFDA 15.520) shows $338,547,549.31 in USAspending.gov obligations with South Dakota as place of performance. Three awards carry that total — a short list of large assistance rows, not three water plants. The join is an Interior rural-water construction listing crossed with a state location field, not South Dakota’s entire water budget. Rocky Boy's system in Montana is a sibling Interior overlay, not this pair. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Key figures

  • CFDA 15.520 in South Dakota shows $338,547,549.31 in USAspending obligations on 3 awards.
  • Three awards are construction-style rows, not a town or connection census.
  • The join is Lewis and Clark rural water plus South Dakota place of performance, not Rocky Boy's or Impact Aid.
  • The total is commitments, not pipe already in the ground.

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.

Rural-water obligations are not pipe already in the ground

Construction awards often obligate in large increments and draw as invoices are processed. The $338,547,549.31 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of miles built and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A Bureau of Reclamation construction table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 15.520, South Dakota geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Lewis and Clark Rural Water System. This extract does not split treatment from distribution, and it does not split South Dakota segments from other states the authorized system may serve. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 3 awards, CFDA 15.520, and South Dakota. This page will not invent a geography share. Rocky Boy's system on 15.525 is a different authorized project.

What the South Dakota 15.520 table omits

The extract has no mileage, no connection count, and no member-system list. Facts remain $338,547,549.31, 3 awards, CFDA 15.520, and South Dakota. This page will not invent a ranking against other rural-water joins. Supplemental Disaster Relief on 10.988 is a USDA listing, not a water-system subset.

South Dakota federal spending and South Dakota programs place 15.520 among other listings. CFDA 15.520 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Interior spending the packet never computed. The $338,547,549.31 figure is the tagged pair only.

Where the 15.520 x South Dakota overlay lives

Start with Lewis And Clark Rural Water System in South Dakota for the 3-award table behind $338,547,549.31. CFDA 15.520 is the nationwide listing. South Dakota federal spending and South Dakota programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. Three awards totaling $338,547,549.31 remain a construction-style administrative file, not a connection census. Pipe miles and household taps are not in this packet. Per-connection costs are omitted because they are not in the facts.

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.
