AI Summary
- Supports federal government funding for water conservation infrastructure in the San Carlos Irrigation and Drainage District (SCIDD) in Pinal County, Arizona
- SCIDD operates over 200 miles of unlined canals and laterals over 100 years old, losing excessive water; canal lining would conserve an estimated 50,000 acre-feet of water annually
- SCIDD will exhaust available funding after completing the next canal reach and requires approximately $300 million to complete remaining rehabilitation of 18+ miles of main canals and 200+ miles of laterals
- Urges U.S. Congress to enact water infrastructure legislation and secure necessary funding at the next available opportunity to improve water conservation and supply for Arizona
- Unanimously adopted by the Arizona House of Representatives on May 25, 2021
