Planning today for tomorrow’s water

The Lake Agassiz Water Authority (LAWA) is working to provide a reliable drinking water supply for the communities, businesses and residents of the Red River Valley. LAWA was created by North Dakota’s State Legislature to coordinate planning efforts and determine the best method to supply the Valley with drinking water for sustainable long-term growth and development.
 
LAWA represents local water users in the Red River Valley Water Supply Project, which is designed to provide supplemental water supplies to central and eastern North Dakota.

 

LAWA's State and Local Plan

With a definite need identified, LAWA members looked forward to creating a plan that would provide a reliable supply of quality drinking water for the Red River Valley. After considering multiple action alternatives, LAWA selected its preferred alternative.
