The federal Large-Scale Water Recycling Project Grant Program would be extended through 2032 under a bipartisan bill proposed by U.S. Sen. John Curtis (R-UT). The senator on Jan. 27 signed on as the lead original cosponsor of the Large-Scale Water Recycling Reauthorization Act, S. 3693, which is sponsored by U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). “For the millions that rely upon the Colorado River Basin, water scarcity is a daily reality,” Sen. Curtis said. “Large-scale water recycling is one of the most effective, forward-looking tools we have to stretch limited supplies, support growing communities, and protect our environment.
