FACILITIES: BDM (Brown-Day-Marshall) Rural Water System began with the goal of providing rural water to the area around Britton, Langford, Claremont, Groton and Pierpont. BDM's source of water is the Middle-James aquifer.  Water is stored and distributed at the water treatment plant and 14 reservoir sites.  Stand alone generators provide back-up power in case of electrical failures at the treatment plant and several reservoirs The system has gone through many construction phases in the past 20+ years.  BDM now serves customers in the above mentioned areas as well as a good portion of Roberts County.  Nearly 2000 individual accounts are served by BDM. In addition to individual users, we currently provide bulk water to the towns of Amherst, Claremont, Langford, Pierpont, Britton, Veblen, Lake City, New Effington, and Peever.  The Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate is also provided bulk water at several of their housing sites and at over 200 individual homes throughout the area.  When construction is complete in Phase One of our Hecla area expansion, the people of Hecla will be on-line to receive quality drinking water from BDM Rural Water.
