Great story. KFYR out of Bismarck reporting:
The demand for water is bigger than ever in western North Dakota, as residential and industrial growth continues to flourish. Thanks to some unique water depots, help is officially on the way. These depots are part of the Western Area Water Supply Project being installed throughout the western half of the state. Unlike most state-run projects, this one is being paid for by the oil industry.Go to the link for some interesting additional data points.
Water is for sale at the 13 Mile Corner and area truckers couldn't be happier.
"Oh this is extremely helpful having this here, it really shortens the distance us truck drivers have to go for water and it makes our turnaround so much faster," said truck driver Rick Ingraham.
This is a very big story; lots of implications. Key phrase in the article: "state-of-the-art" water depots.
