USDA Awards $4 Million to Turtle Mountain Public Utilities Commission

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA) awarded $4,000,000 to the Turtle Mountain Public Utilities Commission to expand and improve the existing Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians water distribution system in the rural Dunseith area.

Specifically, this grant will expand services to 32 additional users to provide them a safe and reliable source of water. Of these users, 15 of them have no water source and haul their water. The completion of this project will bring the service area up to current standards and increase the quality of service to customers.
