This investment is provided through the DOI\u2019s Aging Infrastructure Account, which received over $3 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.\n\n\u201cAs Colorado and the West face historic drought, we must safeguard clean water for future generations,\u201d said Bennet. \u201cThese Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investments will revitalize aging water delivery systems across the West and help ensure Colorado\u2019s families, farmers, and Tribes have access to a safe, reliable water supply.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur water is too precious to waste even a drop on outdated infrastructure meant to deliver and conserve our water supplies,\u201d said Hickenlooper. \u201cOur BIL is fixing that. These updates will help save water and make us more resilient to drought.\u201d\n\nBennet and Hickenlooper fought to include $8 billion for western water infrastructure, $10 billion for forests, $19 billion for agricultural conservation, and $4 billion for drought in the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.\n\nA full list of projects in Colorado is below.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.bennet.senate.gov/2024/12/05/bennet-hickenlooper-celebrate-61-million-for-aging-water-infrastructure-increase-drought-resilience-in-colorado/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.417689025402069, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
