Here is a short summary of the bill:
The bill known as the Rural Water Security Act aims to amend an existing law, the Water Resources Development Act of 1999, to include the state of Colorado in a specific program designed for western rural water needs. This program focuses on providing assistance for rural water supply systems in western states. Here is a breakdown of the key changes proposed by the bill:
Inclusion of Colorado
The primary action of the bill is to officially add Colorado to the list of states that benefit from the rural water program. This will be done by making amendments in the following areas:
- In the first amendment, the term "Colorado" is inserted before "Arizona" in a specific subsection.
- The second amendment adds "Colorado" before "Arizona" in another subsection regarding program eligibility.
- The third amendment similarly inserts "Colorado" before "Idaho" in yet another subsection.
Impact of Amendments
By including Colorado in this program, the bill aims to recognize the state's rural water challenges and extend federal support to improve water infrastructure. This could help ensure that residents in Colorado's rural areas have better access to water supply systems.
Rationale for the Bill
The legislation is part of a broader effort to address the unique water needs of rural communities in the western United States. By expanding the eligibility of Colorado for federal assistance, the bill seeks to enhance water security for underserved areas.
Implementation
The bill, once passed, would facilitate the allocation of federal resources specifically aimed at improving water supply systems in rural communities in Colorado. The exact details of how this funding would be distributed or managed would likely be determined through subsequent regulations or guidance issued by relevant federal agencies.
