On Wednesday, Representative TJ Cox (D-Fresno) announced that he had successfully attached legislation for multiple water infrastructure projects to the 2020 spending package.
The first project calls for $20 million in new construction funding to repair critical Bureau of Reclamation canals where land subsidence has seriously impaired carrying capacity. Additionally, Representative Cox secured funding for the previously announced Move Water Now Act (H.R.5316), which would provide $200 million to fix the Friant-Kern Canal.
