Your MoneyFort Peck's rural water systems would have until 2028 — not 2026 — to get their federal money.
Your Money
Congress could only fund two Montana rural water systems through 2026. That date would move to 2028, and the limits stay the same: $124 million for the Fort Peck Reservation system, $51 million for four nearby counties.
More about this bill
If you live on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana, this is about your water system. Congress can only put federal money toward building it through 2026. That date would move to 2028. The same change applies to the Dry Prairie system, which serves Roosevelt, Sheridan, Daniels, and Valley Counties nearby. The dollar limits do not change. The 2000 law set those limits: $124 million for the reservation system, $51 million for Dry Prairie. Only the deadline moves. Both projects would get two more years to finish construction. Everywhere else in the country, people would see no change in daily life.
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.
