Lake Powell pipeline proposal introduced for Arizona tribes
There’s another proposal on the table to build a pipeline from Lake Powell, but the water wouldn’t go to St. George. Arizona lawmakers this month introduced legislation that would fund a pipeline to bring water from Lake Powell to three tribes with Colorado River rights. The $5 billion deal — negotiated by the tribes, the federal government and the state of Arizona in May — includes $1.75 billion for the pipeline, and now needs approval from Congress.
