The Colorado River Commission expects no real problems contracting with the federal government for repayment of the Southern Nevada Water Project. Pat Head, CRC consultant, said a proposed federal amendment to the Boulder Canyon Act would let Interior contract with the Nevada agency, clarifying contract status and state obligations. Sub contracts with Las Vegas district and cities would mirror CRC repayment to the federal government, with optional court ruling if needed. Minor legislative corrections may be required after discussions in Washington.
