EASTERN NAVAJO RESERVATION WATER DELIVERY

Water is an extremely limited and precious resource in the dry and nearly barren environment of the Eastern Navajo Nation. It is also a constant concern for forty percent of Navajo households who rely on water hauling to meet their daily water needs for drinking, cooking, bathing and cleaning.

The Mission delivers water directly to the homes of residents who lack mobility, due to their advanced age or their lack of transportation means, to obtain their water.

Currently, our water truck is filled from an onsite well and delivers the potable water to more than 200 residences within a 50-mile radius. The Mission, in partnership with Dig Deep, has helped many of our clients transition from 55 gallon water barrels to 1200 gallon cistern tanks.

Over the last 20 years, Mission workers have driven nearly 2 million miles to bring water to the residents of these widely dispersed and often isolated and impoverished households of the Eastern Navajo Nation.
