A bill to amend the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act to modify a provision relating to the extension of certain dates for the completion of the Regional Water System, and for other purposes.
Key claim: S3573 would amend the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act to extend certain statutory deadlines for completing the Regional Water System serving the settling Pueblos.
Abstract
(S3573 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-29): Committee on Indian Affairs. Hearings held.
Why this matters
The Aamodt Regional Water System delivers water to Pueblo communities under a negotiated litigation settlement, and missed completion deadlines can jeopardize federal cost-share authority and delay service to tribal households and neighboring users. Extending the statutory deadlines keeps the settlement’s implementation framework intact for builders and water providers while preserving expected supply outcomes for Pueblo and non-Pueblo residents in the affected basin.
