HJR 25-1004: Water Project Eligibility Lists

HJR 25-1004 is a procedural resolution approving specific additions to Colorado's Drinking Water Project Eligibility List and Water Pollution Control Project Eligibility List. It directly affects water providers like Allenspark Water and Sanitation District, East Boulder County Water District, and Grizzly Peak Water Sales and Distribution LLC, enabling them to qualify for funding from the state's Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) and Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund (WPCRF). The resolution formally adopts the Water Quality Control Commission's approved project additions, modifications, and deletions for these lists. This allows eligible water and wastewater infrastructure projects to access state financial assistance for facilities such as treatment plants, distribution systems, and storage.
