Western senators propose wastewater program renewal
U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, has co-introduced bipartisan legislation to extend a federal $450 million water recycling grant for Western states until 2032. The federal grant, signed by former President Joe Biden in 2021, has already allocated roughly $308 million on water recycling projects in Colorado River states. … The Large-Scale Water Recycling Project Grant Program funds are available to all Western states, but have only been granted to five programs in Utah and Southern California, totaling roughly $308 million. If the program were not extended, it would expire at the end of the U.S. government’s 2026 fiscal year on Sept. 30.
