Find new and innovative solutions to provide Utahns with more water security.

Evidence
Rep. Owens’ FY27 appropriations request list includes multiple water-related projects, including Elk Ridge City water mainline replacement, Woodland Hills culinary water pipeline replacement, Ephraim City water tank construction, Fairview City drinking water system modernization, and a West Jordan culinary water storage tank.
Owens announced $5 million in Community Project Funding for Gunnison City’s Tarr Canyon Water Development Project, saying it will build a new drinking water well and ensure reliable water access for years to come.
Assessments
The promise is broad and action-oriented: to find solutions that increase Utahns' water security. Owens can claim direct credit for materially advancing and announcing a completed federal funding win for Gunnison City's Tarr Canyon Water Development Project, which funds a new drinking water well and improves reliable water access. That is a concrete water-security outcome achieved while in office, and the additional FY27 requests reinforce an ongoing effort in the same policy area. Because at least one tangible water-security project was delivered during his current congressional service, this is best scored as delivered in the same term.
Owens secured $5 million in Community Project Funding for Gunnison City's Tarr Canyon Water Development Project while serving in federal office. The project directly addresses Utah water security by funding a new drinking water well and more reliable water access. Additional FY27 water-infrastructure requests show continued effort, but the completed funding win is enough to count the promise as delivered in the same term.
