This bill lowers how much local communities must repay to build the Arkansas Valley Conduit, a water pipeline in Colorado that brings safe drinking water to places that don’t have a reliable supply. It sets the local share at 35% of the project’s cost. If a community shows financial hardship, it can repay the remaining share over up to 75 years, using simple interest set at half of the U.S. Treasury rate. This makes the project more affordable for small towns and households that need clean water.
Local partners must also take over the day‑to‑day care, operation, maintenance, and eventual replacement of the conduit once it’s in use.
