Rembrandt, IA
Ground Storage Reservoir
The ground storage reservoir is a critical component of the water treatment process, allowing surge capacity between the filtration process and the softening system.
Estherville, IA
Connection to L-P Rural Water
DGR completed a preliminary engineering report that met all the requirements for Rural Development.
Edgerton, MN
New Water Distribution System
The City’s residents enjoy high quality water that comes to them in a new and reliable distribution system.
Revere, MN
Water Treatment Plant Improvement
The improvements delivered a cost‑effective, long‑term solution that enhanced reliability, met regulatory requirements, and advanced system capacity goals.
Northwest Iowa
Ground Storage Reservoir
Construction of a 500,000 gallon prestressed concrete ground storage reservoir, site work and site piping.
Orange City, IA
Floodplain Analysis
DGR employed a Geographic Information System (GIS) in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to first determine the 100-year flood elevations and delineate the floodway boundaries.
Sutherland, IA
Water System Expansion
Tremendous demand for new service connections made this expansion project the largest ever undertaken by Kingbrook Rural Water, Inc.
Southeastern SD
Sludge Handling & Facility Expansion
In addition to doubling the capacity of the lift station by replacing the existing 7.5HP pumps with 15HP pumps, this project also addressed many deficiencies in the sludge collection, processing, and disposal operations.
Sanborn, IA
Water Source Development
DGR and Red Rock Rural Water System teamed up with POET to perform a program of exploratory drilling, test pumping and well field development. Designed three production wells capable of supplying 1.4 MGD to the ethanol plant and 9 miles of 10” diameter raw water main.
Jeffers, MN
Pump Station & Storage Reservoirs
The new Edgerton Pump Station (EPS) was constructed to facilitate bringing purchased water from Lewis & Clark Regional Water System (L&C) to the LPRW system.
Southwest Minnesota
Low Pressure Collection System
Analyzed collection and treatment alternatives. Designed a septic tank effluent pump (STEP) system for Superior’s residents.
Superior, IA
Wastewater Treatment Facility (SBR)
The new SBR system utilizes the existing aeration lagoon for equalization and another lagoon cell for sludge storage, which reduced the cost of the project for the City and provided more operational flexibility.
Dell Rapids, SD
New Water Treatment Plant
New water treatment plant for SLRW meets growth and water quality needs with innovative treatment plant design.
Beresford, SD
Water Pipeline Construction
The North Core Pipeline project consisted of approximately 70 miles of pipeline from near Ft. Pierre to Philip, four ground storage reservoirs, and four pump stations.
Murdo, SD
