Fort Peck Tribes work to restore water service after flooding





The Fort Peck Tribes of Montana restored water service to the reservation this morning but a boil water order remains in effect.

The water system became contaminated due to heavy flooding. About 3,000 people lost service on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The system is back up and running, The Fort Peck Journal said on Facebook. However, residents must boil water and are being urged to restrict their usage.
