On the recordNovember 1, 1999

Mr. Speaker, the city of Vallejo, California has tried to use its water supply facilities more efficiently, but has been limited by a provision in Federal law that prohibits the city from sharing space in an existing Federal water delivery canal. The city of Vallejo wants to wheel some of its drinking water through part of the canal serving California's Solano Project, a water project built by the Bureau of Reclamation in the 1950s. The city of Vallejo is prepared to pay any appropriate charges for the use of these facilities. H.R. 1235 authorizes the Secretary of Interior to enter into contracts for the impounding, storage, and carriage of nonproject water using facilities associated with the Solano Project, California. In addition, any Warren Act contract affecting the Solano Project will be conducted with full compliance of all applicable environmental requirements. I urge an aye vote on the bill.
