Urban Canal Safety: Federal Funding for Critical Infrastructure Repairs.
This law aims to enhance public safety by funding urgent repairs and maintenance of critical urban water canals. It defines an "urban canal of concern" as one whose failure could result in loss of life or significant property damage (over $5 million or affecting over 100 people). The federal government will cover 35% of the costs for these extraordinary maintenance works, accelerating modernization and protecting citizens' lives and property.
