Concurrent Resolution Regarding the Grand County Water Conservancy District

This concurrent resolution (HCR 1) expresses the Utah Legislature's support for transferring federal water infrastructure - specifically a pipeline, pump stations, and reservoir owned by the U.S. Department of Energy - to the Grand County Water Conservancy District. The resolution urges Congress to make this transfer, which would allow the district to continue delivering water to the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) project site and provide water security to rural residents in northern Grand County, including areas like Thompson Springs. The infrastructure is no longer needed by the Department of Energy after the UMTRA project concludes, and the district holds unused water rights it could access with the transferred system. This is a non-binding resolution with no funding or new legal requirements.
