Upper Price River Watershed Project Act of 2025

H.R. 5752, the Upper Price River Watershed Project Act of 2025, would authorize the federal government to convey approximately 124.23 acres of Bureau of Land Management land located near Price, Utah to the City of Price. This land transfer would support the Upper Price River Watershed Project, which aims to address water supply challenges in the region.

The underlying watershed project seeks to improve water reliability and conservation in the Upper Price River area. The project would involve water infrastructure improvements such as water storage facilities, more efficient water delivery systems, and conservation methods to address current annual water shortages affecting municipal, agricultural, and industrial users. The project is being developed through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service with Price City and local water companies as co-sponsors.

If enacted, this legislation would facilitate the city's ability to implement these water management improvements by providing access to the federal land needed for the project. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet advanced beyond committee referral.
