Dakota Water Resources Act Amendments of 2026

This bill would authorize additional federal funding for water supply projects in North Dakota and on several Tribal reservations. It would authorize $637 million, adjusted for construction costs, for four state projects, including the Northwest Area Water Supply, the Eastern North Dakota Alternate Water Supply, the Southwest Pipeline, and rural water districts. It would authorize $743 million, also adjusted, for rural water systems on the Spirit Lake, Fort Berthold, Standing Rock, and Turtle Mountain reservations and a feasibility study for a Lake Traverse system. It would allow some funds to be moved among the state projects, require final engineering reports within 2 years, and set $75 million for a natural resources trust.
