CURRY COUNTY WATER LINES FUNDING

SB 339 appropriates $12 million from the state general fund to the New Mexico Department of Environment for planning, designing, constructing, replacing, and improving water lines in Curry County. The funding is allocated for fiscal years 2026 through 2028, with any unspent balance reverting to the general fund by the end of 2028. The bill directly affects Curry County's water infrastructure by providing state resources for system upgrades. The bill was passed by relevant committees but was postponed indefinitely on June 3, 2025.
