The Bureau of Reclamation told Western lawmakers it will increase the amount it spends on large-scale water recycling by up to $10 million per project, a boost meant to help address rising construction costs. Reclamation Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton told California Sen. Alex Padilla (D) and nearly 30 other lawmakers who had pressed for the increase that her agency would bump up the per-project cap on federal funding for water recycling to $40 million, up from its current $30 million limit.
