$60 million in new funds to support the completion of the Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) Announcement
Announcement, Speeches, and Reaction from Otero County Officials
Media Release:
Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, Bill Long, and local leaders celebrate the announcement of $60 million in new funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support the completion of the Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) to provide Coloradans with a secure and safe supply of water.
The AVC is a planned 130-mile water-delivery system from the Pueblo Dam to communities throughout the Arkansas River Valley in Southeast Colorado. This funding will expedite the construction timeline for the Conduit and allow for federal drinking water standards to be met more quickly by local water providers. The Conduit is the final phase of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, which Congress authorized in 1962.
