Lewis & Clark Now Connected to Communities in Iowa

Lewis & Clark water has begun flowing to Sioux Center and Hull Iowa.  The communities are the 16th and 17th members to be connected to the Lewis & Clark Regional Water system. Sioux Center City Commission Chairman Murry Hulstein says it’s a huge milestone for both communities to finally be connected. Lewis & Clark’s Articles of Incorporation were signed on January 29, 1990, so Sioux Center waited 12,119 days to get water.  

Sioux Center has reserved 600,000 gallons per day and Hull has reserved 400,000 gallons per day.  Work started last year to expand the System’s capacity from 44 million gallons to 60 million gallons per day.  When the expansion is completed, which is anticipated to be in 2030 or 2031, Sioux Center will have access to a total of 949,000 gallons per day and 633,000 gallons per day for Hull.  

Three members of Lewis & Clark remain unconnected.  The schedules are subject to change, but Sheldon is anticipated to receive water in late this year. Madison in mid-2024 and Sibley Iowa in late 2024 or early 2025.
