Through Resolution 2026-32, the City of Crooks approved financing for drinking water facilities as part of the City of Crooks Phase 2 Street and Utility Improvements Project using a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund revenue bond of up to 2,090,000. The resolution finds that the water system improvements are necessary to avoid health hazards and ensure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, and authorizes a loan agreement with the South Dakota Conservancy District, special surcharge districts, and dedicated project accounts. This indicates that a significant package of water distribution, street, and related utility work is moving toward construction, with funding locked in but no specific construction contractors identified in the minutes.Vendors in water main construction, trenchless work, paving, metering, controls, inspection, and project management can expect upcoming solicitations as the city implements the financed improvements and adjusts water rates and surcharges to support debt service.

Project is described as the "City of Crooks Phase 2 Street and Utility Improvements Project" for drinking water; design and construction vendors are not yet specified in the minutes, making this a pre-RFP implementation signal.
