Subjects the Rosebud and Lower Brule water supply systems to a prohibition on the use of funds for irrigation purposes. Authorizes the Rosebud, Lower Brule, West River, and Lyman-Jones water supply systems to utilize power from the Pick-Sloan power supply system for appropriate purposes. Authorizes appropriations for the: (1) Oglala, Rosebud, and Lower Brule Sioux, West River, and Lyman-Jones rural water supply systems; and (2) waste water disposal system feasibility studies required under such Act. Specifies that the operation and maintenance expenses associated with water deliveries to the West River and Lyman-Jones Rural Water Systems are a non-Federal responsibility and for such deliveries the Secretary shall contract with the West River and Lyman-Jones Systems for the payment of an annual operation and maintenance fee, based on the incremental operation and maintenance costs for water actually delivered each year to such Systems. Requires such operation and maintenance payments to be increased or decreased by such amounts as may be justified by reason of ordinary fluctuations as indicated by indices applicable to comparable regional rural water supply systems for the type of operation and maintenance involved.
