PLLATTE, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) Local leaders broke ground Tuesday on the Randall Regional Waterline Project, a $110 million effort to improve water service across southeastern South Dakota. Over the next two years, crews will install 72 miles of pipeline, upgrade the Platte Water Treatment Plant, and add new storage and pumping stations. The project will provide a critical backup water source for Mitchell and boost service for rural customers. Funded by a mix of state loans and federal grants, the improvements aim to meet growing demand and ensure reliable, safe water for the future.
