The Chippewa Cree Tribe of Montana held meetings this to discuss plans for a $229 million water system that will serve the Rocky Boy's Reservation and the local community.

The tribe has rights to 10,000 acre-feet of water a year from the Tiber Dam, which will feed the system. Funding for the project is expected to be released in 2004, with construction eyed for 2005.

The entire project will be complete within a decade.
