Columbia River Water Delivery Account (2SHB 3309/E2SSB 6874)

AWC supports both of these important Governor-request water bills which result from historic agreements between the State, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, the Spokane Tribe of Indians and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Beneficiaries of this agreement include several cities in need of water rights to serve growing populations.

The Senate version passed unanimously on February 14 and now moves to the House.

Please see background provided on them in last week’s Bulletin for more information.
