Bill overview
This bill authorizes the Secretary of the Army to transfer ownership of approximately 65 acres of land at Fort Bliss, Texas, currently housing the Kay Bailey Hutchison Desalination Plant, to El Paso Water. El Paso Water will pay the fair market value for the property, which could include discounted water rates or other services for the base. If the property isn't used for its intended stormwater flood control purpose, the U.S. government can reclaim it. The bill also outlines how costs associated with the transfer will be handled, ensuring El Paso Water covers expenses and receives refunds if overpayments are made.
