House Subcommittee Reviews $5 Billion Deal for Tribal Water Rights in Northeastern Arizona, Pipeline Funding Included

A House Natural Resources subcommittee is set to review a $5 billion deal to ensure tribal water rights in northeastern Arizona, including funds for a new pipeline connecting Lake Powell to tribal reservation in the Colorado River Basin. The Senate’s Indian Affairs Committee will also take up water rights legislation and tribal forest management legislation. Arizona Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani, along with Arizona Reps. Raúl Grijalva, Greg Stanton, and David Schweikert, introduced H.R. 8940, which would codify an agreement reached by the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe earlier this year.
