See the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project through to completion so rural and Tribal communities including the Navajo Nation, City of Gallup, and Jicarilla Apache Nation have access to safe, clean, reliable drinking water.

This is a critical step forward, and I remain committed to seeing this project through to completion.

After announcing expedited federal funding for the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project, Lujan committed to seeing the project through to completion.

Reclamation's 2026 project page describes the project as still under construction, with San Juan Lateral water deliveries expected in 2028.

The central promise was to see the project through completion. As of the current Reclamation status page, full project completion had not occurred by July 1, 2026.

Reclamation reports that the completion deadline was formally extended from December 2024 to December 31, 2029.

The extension is strong official evidence that the project was not completed during Lujan's current Senate term as of the assessment date.

Reclamation says the Cutter Lateral is mostly complete and delivering water, while the San Juan Lateral continues construction with additional facilities remaining.

This supports a partial outcome: some water service has begun, including Cutter Lateral deliveries, but the entire project is not complete.

Congress.gov states Public Law 111-11 authorized design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project for Gallup, the Navajo Nation, and Jicarilla Apache Nation.

This establishes the official project scope and confirms that the promise is measurable against a federally authorized project serving the named communities.

The law created the Indian Water Rights Settlement Completion Fund and deposited $2.5 billion for approved Indian water settlements.

The fund could support completion of eligible Indian water settlements, including the kind of settlement infrastructure underlying Navajo-Gallup, but this text alone does not prove completion.

The Senate roll call for H.R.3684 shows the bill passed 69-30 and lists Lujan of New Mexico as voting Yea.

Lujan supported the bipartisan infrastructure law that funded Indian water settlement completion, showing concrete action toward the promise even though completion had not happened.

Congress.gov records H.R.3684 as becoming Public Law 117-58 and summarizes funding categories including water infrastructure and Western water infrastructure.

This corroborates that Lujan's yea vote was on enacted legislation relevant to water infrastructure, but it does not establish project completion.

Lujan's Senate office describes his record as delivering billions for Tribal clean water and sanitation projects.

This is member-office evidence of effort and related results for Tribal water infrastructure, but it is not specific proof that Navajo-Gallup was completed.
