AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes a 2009 federal law on canals and other water facilities that the Bureau of Reclamation has transferred to local operating entities. It defines an "urban canal of concern" as a canal reach that the Secretary of the Interior classifies as urban and whose failure would put more than 100 people at risk. It allows the Secretary or the local operating entity to carry out major (extraordinary) repair and maintenance work on these canals when the Secretary finds it necessary. For non-emergency work, the federal government would pay 25 percent of the cost without repayment and would advance the remaining 75 percent, which the local operating entity would repay.
