The Rosebud Sioux Tribe and three other South Dakota tribes will receive federal economic stimulus funding for drinking water and wastewater projects, federal agencies announced this week.

The $3.2 million awarded to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe is the largest of $9.5 million in allocations to reservations in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming, according to the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Health and Human Services.

The money for the Rosebud reservation is for "clean water" projects, repairing and upgrading wastewater treatment, nonpoint source pollution control and watershed and estuary management, according to EPA's Web site.

The other South Dakota projects, all involving drinking water, include $1,205,700 to Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, $1,010,300 to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and $127,100 to the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate on the Lake Traverse Reservation.
