The bill proposes an appropriation of $3,900,000 from the clean water fund for the fiscal year 2026, specifically designated for the Red Rock Rural Water System. This funding is intended to support the acquisition of land in Cottonwood County that contains a groundwater aquifer, which is essential for the water system to maintain its ability to deliver safe and high-quality water services to the local community.
The legislation emphasizes the importance of protecting water resources and ensuring the sustainability of water services in the region. By providing financial support for land acquisition, the bill aims to enhance the infrastructure and reliability of the Red Rock Rural Water System, ultimately benefiting the residents who depend on it for their water needs.
