Stansbury | S001218 | stansbury.house.gov | stansbury | https://stansbury.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representative Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) closed the Summer legislative session celebrating big wins for New Mexico water projects in the 2024 Water Resources Development Act. “I will continue to say this because it is true: In New Mexico, water is life, and it is up to everyone to ensure this sacred, vital, life-saving resource is protected," said Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01). "From funding water treatment infrastructure to collecting water data to increasing access to clean water for Tribes, these were all projects I was proud to support. It is passed time that water in New Mexico is protected and accessible equitably and reliably." The Congresswoman’s wins include: $20 million for the Bernalillo Wastewater Treatment Improvement Program to plan, design, construct, purchase, replace, and install improvements to the wastewater treatment plant in the town of Bernalillo in Sandoval County. $10 million for the Village of Bosque Farms Wastewater Treatment Improvement Program for improvements to the wastewater treatment plant in the Village of Bosque Farms in Valencia County, NM. Secured a sense of Congress to develop and implement a national water data framework based on her bipartisan, bicameral Water Data Act. This initiative has a wide range of supporters and endorsements, from state, tribal, local and utility supporters to advocates in the agricultural community and environmental organizations. $10 million funding increase and 100% federal cost share for Acequia Irrigation Systems. This funding will be used to restore and protect acequias in the face of climate change-induced hydrologic stress. $28.5 million for the Tribal Partnership Program to support flood control projects on tribal lands in New Mexico. The New Mexico delegation also supported several requests including: Funding to process U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project permits for Indian Tribes, including aquatic restoration projects. A post-disaster watershed assessment for Hermit’s Peak wildfires. A project for flood risk management in the Village of Hatch. A project for flood risk management in Otero County. A project for flood risk management and water supply, including aquifer recharge, for the Ogallala Aquifer in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z |
