This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the water infrastructure finance program. It clarifies the definition of "wastewater treatment facility" by changing the phrase "for purposes of complying" to "to comply" with the Clean Water Act. Additionally, it expands the scope of funding eligibility from the water supply development revolving fund to include not only intergovernmental agreements but also formal written agreements with water providers for water supply development projects.
Furthermore, the bill broadens the types of activities eligible for funding by adding "or projects" to the existing language concerning planning, designing, building, or developing water-related facilities. It also introduces a new provision for funding related to "snowpack augmentation conducted pursuant to title 45, chapter 9," thereby recognizing the importance of snowpack management in water resource planning.
