Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Changes In Federal Water Project

Repayment Policies Can Reduce

Federal Costs



Federal water project repayment policies and
practices do not ensure fair and timely cost
recovery from project water users when water
supply or storage space in Federal reservoirs
is not sold or fully utilized. Because about
15 million acre-feet of available water or
storage space in Bureau of Reclamation and
Corps of Engineers reservoirs has not been
sold, the Government has absorbed substan-
tial costs associated with the underutilized
reservoirs.

This report is recommending changes in agency
policies which should result in greater cost
recovery from water users who receive bene-
fits from the projects. Greater cost recovery
from project beneficiaries means less Federal
funding is required to construct, operate, and
maintain Federal water projects.
