Water infrastructure legislation authorizes watershed studies, millions for New Mexico sewer systems
26 Dec 2024
News
Money for bosque restoration, a new wastewater system in Bernalillo and floodplain research in Estancia will be authorized by a federal water infrastructure bill Congress passed last week.
The Water Resources Development Act is meant to improve ports, harbors, inland waterway navigation and flood and storm protection by authorizing Army Corps of Engineer projects and other water infrastructure funds. In New Mexico, that means projects related to watersheds, sewer systems, ecosystem restoration and flood risk management rely on the legislation for funding approval. The WRDA has to be authorized every other year. It is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.
