The Senate approved a $200 million water project to benefit the Rocky Boy's Reservation in Montana and other communities.

The project still needs to be appropriated but its goal is to bring clean water to 7,000 households. It was included as an amendment to the Indian Financing Act. The bill goes onto President Bush for his signature.
