Campground dump station reconfiguration
Summary
Campers using the Spearfish City Campground dump station currently have to back up or drive against one-way traffic — a safety headache. The $40K change order flips the dump station to the south side of the road so traffic flows smoothly, all paid from campground revenue rather than taxes.
