Bureau of Reclamation - Denver Office

Description

Title I of the Reclamation Rural Water Supply Act, P.L. 109-451 (Act), authorized the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Reclamation, to establish a program to work with small communities in rural areas on a cost-shared basis throughout the Reclamation states to assess their potable water supply needs and to identify options to address those needs. The Reclamation states include Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. To achieve this objective, Reclamation will work with these communities to investigate opportunities to ensure safe and adequate rural water supply projects for domestic, municipal, and industrial use; plan the design and construction of rural water supply projects through the conduct of appraisal investigations and feasibility studies; and oversee, as appropriate, the construction of rural water supply projects that are recommended for construction by Reclamation in a feasibility report developed under the Rural Water Supply Program (program), and subsequently authorized by Congress.
