President Biden's Investing in America's Agenda, including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, has had a substantial impact on 2024 spring and summer projects in the 17 Western states. Here's how Reclamation is distributing that funding to communities, Tribes, and water users. “And we’re not done yet!” #Reclamation

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 Reclamation celebrated the final connection of the Lewis & Clark Regional Water System Sibley as the 20th member during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the meter building in Iowa. The meter building is the last piece of critical infrastructure needed to allow water to flow to the people of Sibley. The city now has access to 650,000 gallons of water per day from the system. White House Director of Strategic Engagement Will McIntee, along with Bureau of Reclamation Deputy Commissioner Roque Sánchez, joined local and federal leaders at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. They highlighted the $152.5 million investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for the project, which aims to provide clean drinking water to an estimated 350,000 people across South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. Reclamation remains committed to ensuring these investments yield significant results for the tri-state area. #CommunityPartnerships #Reclamation

On October 23, Reclamation hosted a delegation from the Taiwan Water Resources Agency (TWRA) in Denver, CO, for the 2024 Annual Meeting between the two agencies. Deputy Commissioner David Palumbo headed the #Reclamation delegation during the meeting, which commemorated 37 years of collaboration on water resource topics through a cooperative agreement between the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO). The Deputy Commissioner and TWRA Director General reaffirmed their commitment and appreciation for the Reclamation-TWRA partnership, and anticipation of a continuing mutually beneficial relationship. The Annual meetings have been an excellent opportunity for both Reclamation and TWRA to share common interests and exchange new knowledge and lessons learned. The active appendices of this agreement focus on dam safety, design and construction, and sedimentation and reservoir management.
