Project Description

Notice of Hearing - City of Hot Springs, South Dakota Wastewater System Improvements Project SRF

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

for the

City of Hot Springs, South Dakota Wastewater System Improvements Project

The City of Hot Springs is proposing to submit an application to secure funding from the Board of Water and Natural Resources (BWNR) to complete critical improvements to the wastewater system. The application will request funding assistance for an amount up to $14,040,000 for Phase 1 improvements to the wastewater treatment facility. This project will be completed in two phases with additional funding requests being made for phase 2. The current wastewater treatment facility consists of headworks screening, a primary clarifier, trickling filter, final clarifier, and anaerobic digestion, with effluent discharged to privately owned irrigation ponds. The system is approaching the end of its useful life, with aging infrastructure, odor and corrosion issues, and an expiring effluent irrigation agreement. The city proposes to construct a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR/IFAS) with effluent discharge to the Fall River. The project includes replacing aging infrastructure, which will result in achieving regulatory compliance, and ensuring reliable wastewater treatment for the foreseeable future. This alternative will be implemented in combination with the common improvements, including headworks upgrades, solids handling improvements, electrical and SCADA modernization, disinfection system upgrades, and site/utility improvements. The funds requested for this project could be in the form of grant, loan, or principal forgiveness loan. The Clean Water SRF loan terms are anticipated to be at or near 4.00% for 30 years. The amount, source of funds, and terms will be determined by the BWNR when the application is presented at a scheduled board meeting. The purpose of the public hearing is to discuss the need for the project, project alternatives, proposed alternatives, proposed financing, source of repayment for the loan, rate and term of any borrowed funds, and the impact to users. The public is invited to attend and comment on the project. The public hearing will be held on Thursday, November 13, 2025 at 7:05pm at Mueller Civic Center located at 801 S. 6 ^th Street, Hot Springs, South Dakota 57747.
