Dell Rapids Mayor Scott Fiegen earlier this month received notice that the city had been awarded financial assistance for drainage, sanitary sewer, and water main improvements on 15th Street and Garfield Avenue, State Street, and the Big Sioux River Crossing from the Board of Water and Natural Resources.  That board awarded a $612,000 Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan and a $375,000 Consolidated Water Facilities Construction Program grant, and a $897,000 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan.  There were some contingency factors attached.
