Water Usage Remains Steady for Sioux Falls Despite New Tower Implementation

The City of Brandon, South Dakota, held a Special Council Meeting on July 28, 2025, to address various municipal issues. The meeting focused on financial reviews and updates regarding water and sewer services.

One of the key discussions revolved around the city's water pumping operations to Sioux Falls. Officials noted that the volume of water being pumped has remained consistent, with approximately 700,000 to 725,000 gallons being sent daily. This figure has not significantly changed over the past year, which was attributed to the new water tower infrastructure.

Council members emphasized the importance of monitoring these figures as they review the city's revenue streams. The ongoing assessment of water and sewer operations is crucial for future planning and budgeting.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue evaluating the financial implications of the city's water services and to keep the council informed as new revenue data becomes available. Further discussions on these topics are expected in upcoming meetings as the city seeks to optimize its resources and services.
