Federal funding and program authority for the rural water system serving the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana was set to expire at the end of 2026. This bill extends that authorization by two years, through 2028, allowing the system to continue operating under the same terms established by the original 2000 law. The Fort Peck Reservation is home to the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, and the water system was developed under a federal law passed in 2000 to bring clean water infrastructure to rural tribal communities. The extension gives the project additional time to complete its goals without interruption in federal support.
Congressional Summary
This bill reauthorizes through FY2028 the planning, design, and construction of the Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water System and the Dry Prairie Rural Water System, both located in Montana.
