Chincoteague, Virginia, could get NASA money to move drinking water wells.

This bill would let the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) pay the Town of Chincoteague, Virginia, to move its drinking water wells. These wells are currently on NASA property, and the town could get help planning their removal and setting up new ones.

What Would Change

Today, NASA is not specifically allowed to pay the Town of Chincoteague for moving drinking water wells from NASA property. If this bill becomes law, NASA would be able to enter into an agreement for up to five years to reimburse the town for planning the removal of these wells and establishing new ones on town property.
