This bill extends federal funding authorization for the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System, originally created by a 2000 law. It changes the expiration date from 2026 to 2028, allowing continued federal support for construction, repairs, and operation of the water system without interruption.
Residents of the Fort Peck Reservation, including members of the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, and nearby rural Montana communities that rely on the water system are affected. The Bureau of Reclamation and Montana's congressional delegation are also involved.
Without this extension, the authority to fund the water system's construction, repairs, and operation would lapse in 2026, potentially interrupting federal support.
