What it does
This bill directs the Interior Secretary to give approximately 257 acres of federal land in Nevada to the Clark County Water Reclamation District at no cost, to be used for wastewater infrastructure. The District must pay the administrative costs of the transfer. If the land stops being used for public wastewater purposes, it reverts to federal ownership.
Why we flagged it
The bill is a straightforward conveyance of federal land to a public water authority for wastewater infrastructure. It is a routine intergovernmental asset transfer with clear public-purpose restrictions and reversion protections.
What the text implies
- The 180-day timeline creates a procedural floor but does not guarantee completion if the District's request is incomplete or disputed.
- The reversion clause applies only if the land 'ceases to be used for public purposes'—a District decision to repurpose or lease the land for ancillary revenue may not trigger reversion if characterized as supporting wastewater operations.
