Senator Curtis applauded a $100 million federal investment, made possible by Republicans’ Working Families Tax Cuts Act, to replace the century-old Strawberry High Line Canal with an enclosed pipeline to improve safety and water delivery efficiency. The funding will support critical upgrades to water delivery systems in eastern Utah, strengthening reliability, efficiency, and safety for communities and agriculture across the region.
