A bill to amend the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act to modify a provision relating to the extension of certain dates for the completion of the Regional Water System, and for other purposes.

Key Points

• Congress would let the groups involved in the Aamodt water settlement extend key project deadlines if they all agree it’s needed.
• The extension would require agreement from the Pueblos, the federal government (through the Interior Department), New Mexico, the City, and the County.
• This is aimed at keeping the Regional Water System project moving even if it can’t meet the current dates in the law.
• For local families and businesses, the practical impact is about avoiding delays turning into legal problems that could disrupt progress on reliable water supplies.
• The bill is narrowly focused and mainly affects the specific communities covered by the Aamodt settlement agreement.
