Funding and Management Changes for Crow Tribe Water Infrastructure.
This Act modifies the 2010 Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement, establishing new dedicated accounts to fund essential water and wastewater infrastructure projects on the reservation. These changes aim to streamline funding and ensure the construction and repair of critical systems, improving daily life and water security for the Tribe. The Tribe gains full ownership and responsibility for the long-term maintenance of these facilities.
Key points
Creation of dedicated financial accounts (MR&I Projects Account) specifically for planning, constructing, and repairing municipal, rural, and industrial water and wastewater systems for the Crow Tribe.
The Crow Tribe retains full title and control over the new water infrastructure, while the Federal Government is explicitly relieved of future operation and maintenance costs.
Funding amounts for infrastructure projects will be adjusted (indexed) to account for fluctuations in construction costs, ensuring adequate capital is available.
