Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Lewis & Clark Regional Water System Expansion Feasibility Study Act

Key claim: S3725 would authorize a feasibility study for expansion of the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System and was ordered reported favorably with a substitute amendment by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Abstract

(S3725 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-16): Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.

Why this matters

Feasibility study authorizations are a routine but necessary early step in federal water-infrastructure expansions, shaping downstream cost estimates, permitting scope, and eligibility for Reclamation funding. Tracking S3725’s progress helps distinguish incremental process authorizations from substantive construction commitments in regional water-supply policy.
