South Dakota creates a new water infrastructure development fund that will provide grants (up to 10% of construction costs) and loans (up to 50% of construction costs) to help rural water projects get built, with funding coming from state appropriations, federal grants, and loan repayments. The state will initially put $3 million into this fund from its general budget, and the Board of Water and Natural Resources will set the rules for which projects qualify and how the money gets distributed.
