Federal officials plan to announce 2024 cuts along the Colorado River. Here’s what to expect.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:33:48 GMT

WASHINGTON — Federal officials this week are expected to ease water cuts for 2024 under a slightly improved outlook for the Colorado River’s health, though long-term challenges remain.The river provides water for seven U.S. states, 29 Native American tribes and two states in Mexico. It also supports a multibillion-dollar farm industry in the West and generates hydropower used across the region. Years of overuse by farms and cities and the effects of drought worsened by climate change has meant much less water flows today through the Colorado River than in previous decades.The U.S. government in 2021 announced cuts that hit Arizona particularly hard. Last year, those cuts grew more severe thanks to continued drought, poor precipitation and less runoff from the river’s Rocky Mountains source.A wetter winter and conservation measures have helped improve the river’s health a bit this summer, but experts warn a drier future is ahead.WHAT CUTS ARE EXPECTED?The Bureau of Reclamation will d...

“Fred” and “Wilma” are empty-nesters, and now that the golden eagles’ baby bird has flown the coop, work can begin on one of East County’s biggest local road improvements: the extension of Sand Creek Road from Brentwood to Antioch.The new $8.7 million roadway is expected to shave at least 10 minutes off a trip from west Brentwood to the nearest hospital, Kaiser Permanente in Antioch, and relieve traffic on the heavily used Lone Tree Way to the north near where the new Brentwood Costco is to be located.But work on the three-mile extension from Brentwood’s Old Sand Creek Road to Antioch’s Deer Valley Road, which was set to begin in late March, had to be delayed for months because of the nearby nest of golden eagles, which are protected by federal, state and regional laws and policies.“They (the golden eagles) have slowed us down significantly, but it’s good to see love conquers all,” Brentwood Mayor Joel Bryant joked at a groundbreaking ceremony last week about the eagles named ...
