This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating specific amounts from the state general fund to the department of water resources for fiscal year 2026-2027. The new provisions include funding allocations for various water-related projects in Apache Junction, which are not currently specified in the law.

The bill includes three key appropriations: $18,000,000 for the Apache Junction water district aimed at expanding water and sewer capacity, $10,000,000 for the city of Apache Junction to develop the Weekes wash regional multi-use detention facility for stormwater retention, and $12,500,000 for the Apache Junction water district to support water resilience and conservation projects. These insertions represent new financial commitments that would enhance water infrastructure and management in the region.
