§ 6900 District Funding For Waterways

This law lets a district give money to the federal, state, county, or city government to help pay for projects that make rivers and streams better for boats and trade, even if the work is done outside the district.

Key Takeaways

  • •The district can give money to higher‑level governments.
  • •Money can be used for work inside or outside the district.
  • •Projects must improve navigation or commerce on the district’s waters.

Example

The district gives $200,000 to the state so the state can dredge a river that runs through the district, making it deeper so cargo ships can carry more goods.

The district is using its money to help pay for a river‑clean‑up that will let more boats use the water, which helps local businesses move products more easily.
