After months of negotiations, the Connecticut town of Preston on Tuesday announced it will buy water from a company owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.

The town had been considering being its own water provider but a town leader said the agreement is a "win-win" for both involved. The water company is not located on trust land.

A tribal official said a similar agreement is being looked at with the town of Preston.

The towns of Ledyard, Preston and North Stonington are fighting the tribe's attempt to seek trust lands.
