AI Summary

This bill, the Nogales Wastewater Improvement Act of 2023, provides for the assumption of full ownership and control of the International Outfall Interceptor (IOI) in Nogales, Arizona, by the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC). The bill amends an existing act to limit the City of Nogales, Arizona's financial responsibility for the Nogales sanitation project to only the costs directly associated with the treatment and conveyance of its wastewater, excluding any costs related to wastewater originating in Mexico. The bill requires the IBWC to assume full ownership and control of the IOI after securing necessary agreements with the City and other governing bodies in Arizona. It also authorizes appropriations for the IBWC to operate and maintain the IOI, as well as construct, operate, and maintain a debris screen at Manhole One to intercept debris and drug bundles coming from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.
