To reauthorize the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System Act of 2000.
Key claim: HR7250 reauthorizes through FY2028 the planning, design, and construction of the Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water System and the Dry Prairie Rural Water System in Montana.
Abstract
(HR7250 · 119th Congress) 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. Latest action (2026-07-29): Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Ordered to be reported without amendment favorably.
Why this matters
Reauthorization sustains federal funding authority for two rural water systems serving the Fort Peck Reservation and surrounding communities in northeastern Montana, directly affecting tribal and rural household access to potable water. Without extension, construction milestones and operations support would lapse, delaying delivery to farms and homes that depend on the system.
