Rep. Huffman introduces water infrastructure bill that could funnel over $1 billion to water infrastructure in the west

LITTLE RIVER, 5/25/21 — In a bid to revamp the western United State’s water system, Representative Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) introduced a massive water bill on Thursday, May 20. 

The bill, called FUTURE Western Water Infrastructure and Drought Resiliency Act, would allocate over $1 billion of federal money, largely from the reclamation fund, to update infrastructure, protect and restore ecosystems, and upgrade water technology and data gathering systems.
