Rocky Boy's/North Central Montana Regional Water System funding

Montana x 15.525 is a regional-water join, not a connection census

This page pairs CFDA 15.525, ROCKY BOY'S/NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA REGIONAL WATER SYSTEM, with Montana place of performance. The listing, in program language, funds a specific authorized rural water system serving the Rocky Boy's Reservation and north-central Montana communities. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $340,079,513.91 on 5 awards. The extract does not list miles of pipe, tap connections, or treatment plants. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more rural water need, and not a claim that 5 awards equal 5 communities.

Other Interior listings — BIA facilities O&M on 15.048, Lewis and Clark rural water on 15.520, or different Bureau of Reclamation codes — sit outside $340,079,513.91 unless they also carry 15.525. Montana’s ACEP join on 10.931 is a USDA overlay, not a water-system subset. Mixing regional water with easements would invent a combined state figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and drought indices is not causation. Drought figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Montana locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $340,079,513.91 in the state treasury.

5 awards behind $340.1 million

Mean obligation is about $68,015,902.78 if $340,079,513.91 were divided evenly across 5 lines. That ratio is not a published construction increment and not a cost per connection. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a count of communities, miles, or households.

Five lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent contractor or tribe names. Open Rocky Boy'S/North Central Montana Regional Water System in Montana for the stored table. Do not convert 5 into a map of Montana tap connections. The $340,079,513.91 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not pipe already in the ground. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a connection census.

Regional-water obligations are not pipe already in the ground

Construction awards often obligate in large increments and draw as invoices are processed. The $340,079,513.91 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of miles built and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A Bureau of Reclamation construction table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 15.525, Montana geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Rocky Boy's/North Central Montana Regional Water System. This extract does not split treatment from distribution, and it does not split reservation from off-reservation service. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 5 awards, CFDA 15.525, and Montana. This page will not invent a project-phase share. Lewis and Clark rural water on 15.520 is a different authorized system.

What the Montana 15.525 table omits

The extract has no mileage, no connection count, and no community list. Facts remain $340,079,513.91, 5 awards, CFDA 15.525, and Montana. This page will not invent a ranking against other rural-water joins. Impact Aid on 84.041 is an Education listing, not a water-system subset.

Montana federal spending and Montana programs place 15.525 among other listings. CFDA 15.525 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Interior spending the packet never computed. The $340,079,513.91 figure is the tagged pair only.

Where the 15.525 x Montana overlay lives

Start with Rocky Boy'S/North Central Montana Regional Water System in Montana for the 5-award table behind $340,079,513.91. CFDA 15.525 is the nationwide listing. Montana federal spending and Montana programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. Five awards totaling $340,079,513.91 remain a construction-style administrative file, not a connection census. Pipe miles and household taps are not in this packet. Per-connection costs are omitted because they are not in the facts.

Questions

How much Rocky Boy's/North Central Montana Regional Water System funding is obligated in Montana?

USAspending.gov shows $340,079,513.91 in obligations for CFDA 15.525 with Montana as place of performance, across 5 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Montana’s full water or tribal budget. Other Interior listings are outside this join unless they also carry 15.525.

Do 5 awards mean 5 Montana communities received water funding?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a community or connection census. The packet does not name recipients. See the Montana 15.525 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this the same as the Lewis and Clark Rural Water System?

No. This page is CFDA 15.525, Rocky Boy's/North Central Montana Regional Water System. Lewis and Clark sits on CFDA 15.520 as a separate authorized system, tagged in South Dakota on this slice. Those dollars are not inside $340,079,513.91 unless the award also carries 15.525.

Is $340 million already spent on Montana water construction?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $340,079,513.91 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Construction draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
