Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act

In Plain Language

This bill cuts what towns in Colorado's Arkansas River Valley have to pay back to the federal government for a water pipeline project. Instead of paying interest and finishing payments faster, communities would only pay back the main costs over 100 years with no extra interest charges.
