Ward County Water Resource District has been awarded $262,117 for remediation of low head dams.

The North Dakota State Water Commission (SWC) announced it has approved more than $30.4 million in cost-share funding for water supply and other water infrastructure projects across the state during its Dec. 16 meeting in Bismarck. The approved projects include municipal and rural water supply improvements, along with statewide water resource initiatives that support public safety and enhance data collection.

Cost-share funding approved by the SWC is primarily supported by North Dakota’s Resources Trust Fund, which receives 20.5% of the state’s oil extraction tax revenue.
