Riverside-Corona Feeder Water Supply Act
Summary
This bill authorizes the federal government to partner with local water districts to plan and build the Riverside-Corona Feeder Project, a major water infrastructure system in Southern California. The project would create a 28-mile pipeline and a series of wells designed to store and deliver up to 40,000 acre-feet of groundwater annually to residents in western Riverside County.
For local citizens, this initiative aims to provide a more reliable and secure water supply by reducing the region's dependence on expensive imported water from the Colorado River and Northern California. By improving local groundwater management and storage, the project is intended to protect the community against future droughts and ensure a steady water flow for homes and businesses.
