flag South Dakota lawmakers advance bill allowing small lodges to use natural, chlorine-free pools with plant-based filtration.

flag A South Dakota bill passed by the House would let small lodges with 15 or fewer rooms use chlorine-free pools with natural biofilters that clean water through plants, soil, and bacteria. flag The state Department of Health would oversee permits and set rules for testing and inspections. flag Supporters say the system reduces chemicals and is safer for guests, while opponents raised concerns about cleanup efficiency, though both sides agree pool closures are required during contamination events. flag The legislation, which passed 66-1, now heads to the Senate.
