TUESDAY, MAY 20, 2003 Rural water projects are helping Montana's tribes and rural residents, even if the White House doesn't think so. Projects on the Fort Peck, Rocky Boy's and Blackfeet reservations will provide clean and reliable water. They are receiving funds from the Department of Interior. The $175 million Fort Peck project will benefit 28,000 people over 7,800 square miles. It will help a reported 80 percent of reservation residents who are forced to buy bottled water because of unreliable sources. The $200 million Rocky Boy project will serve at least 7,000 households on the reservation and surrounding communities. It implements a water rights settlement with the Chippewa Cree Tribe. A $13 million pipeline on the Blackfeet Reservation will bring clean water to more than 6,000 residents. Get the Story:
