Mr. Speaker, Senate 819, introduced by Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota, reallocates the costs of the Pactola Dam and Reservoir to reflect growing municipal needs for water. As Rapid City's municipal water needs are growing at a rapid rate and demand for local irrigation water decreases, this legislation appropriately reallocates the costs associated with the changing water needs. This bill is a win for the citizens of Rapid City and a win for the American taxpayer, and I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense legislation.
