HR 7631 amends the Water Resources Development Act of 1999 to add Colorado to the list of states eligible for its rural water assistance program. The bill targets three specific sections of that existing law. It does not create a new program but expands an existing one.
Rural communities, small water systems, local water districts, tribal communities, and rural towns in Colorado would become eligible under this change. The bill was introduced by multiple Colorado members of Congress from both parties.
Colorado communities currently have no access to this program, which provides federal studies, planning support, and funding for water system upgrades. Adding Colorado would put its rural communities on equal footing with those in other western states already covered by the law.
