BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
The Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System Act of 2000 1 au-
thorized the construction of two interconnected water systems-the
Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water System and the Dry Prairie
Rural Water System-collectively known as the Fort Peck Reserva-
tion Rural Water System (System).2 One of Montana's four regional
water systems, the System is designed to supply municipal, rural,
and industrial water from the Missouri River to the Fort Peck Res-
ervation (Reservation) and surrounding communities in north-
eastern Montana that historically relied on limited groundwater
sources or poor-quality surface water.3
