Red River Valley Water Supply Project GUIDING PRINCIPLES
 
  • Access to Success: Develop a project that creates the greatest opportunity for cities and rural water systems to participate, creating the greatest economic benefit to the communities, region and state.
  • Fair and Equitable Share:  Strive for affordable and reasonable cost-share for participating cities and rural water systems through continued use of funding opportunities and creative financing.
  • Prudent Investment:  Wisely use state and local dollars to maximize infrastructure investment in the appropriate timeframe. 
  • Smart Asset Management:  Optimize use of past investments and strategically locate new infrastructure with a goal of ensuring the project's assets have long term viability.
  • Landowner Respect: Construct the pipeline and associated infrastructure with care and respect for the land, it's owners, and renters. Effectively restore and reclaim the land in an effective manner in a reasonable timeframe.
  • Reliable Water Service:  Operate and maintain a supplemental water supply system that delivers Missouri River water – the most reliable water supply – to its users in an affordable and efficient manner.
