Dickinson't Exploring Sites for New Water Depot

Link here.
Two locations have been scoped out by the Southwest Water Authority for a water depot facility, CEO Mary Massad said Monday at the Dickinson City Commission meeting at City Hall. The project is needed, Massad said, and its construction would greatly benefit the area’s industry.
Six acres of land would be needed for the facility. Massad proposed one location east of Roughrider Homes and RVs. The other location would be southeast of Dickinson. That location would be near the fourth water lagoon next to 108th Avenue Southwest.

The new facility would process 18 million gallons a day. The facility would recycle waste water instead of treated water, Massad said, which still meets the conditions for water use on oil rigs.
Based on that last line it sounds like the water will only be used for fracking, not drinking.
