Project Features
Specific features of the project include water supply, treatment, transmission infrastructure, and discharge.
Water Treatment
Water treatment options are still being considered for the RRVWSP; however, it is known that water treatment is necessary for the project. Water will be treated to meet the requirements of regulatory agencies, though the project team is currently working through the process.

Pipeline
A buried pipeline will transport water to central and eastern North Dakota at up to 165 cubic feet per second (cfs). The pipe has a 72-inch diameter, and is 125 miles in length from the intake on the McClusky Canal to the discharge structure at the Sheyenne River.
Other infrastructure and appurtenances along the pipeline such as pumps, valves, pump stations and more are being determined during final design to ensure a safe, effective, and efficient means of delivering water to central and eastern North Dakota.
Discharge
After studying multiple alternatives for a discharge location, the Sheyenne River has been chosen as the most environmentally friendly and viable discharge location for project water.
The discharge structure consists of two major components – the energy dissipation structure and the outlet channel, which conveys water to the Sheyenne River. The discharge structure is located near the Sheyenne River, downstream of the future control valve structure.
