Rural Water Security Act
Water Infrastructure: Adding Colorado to Rural Support Program
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- The Rural Water Security Act would add Colorado to a federal program that helps Western states with their water needs. This program is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and already includes states like Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and New Mexico.
- By joining this program, rural towns in Colorado would become eligible for federal money and technical help to build or repair water systems. This includes projects for clean drinking water, environmental restoration, and managing wastewater.
- This change is meant to help smaller communities that often struggle to afford expensive water infrastructure upgrades. It aims to ensure that people living in rural areas have reliable and safe water services for years to come.
