Hualapai Tribe
At the request of the Hualapai Tribe, Technical Assistance Program funding has been provided to allow Hualapai staff and contractors to begin restoration of a water storage tank (c. 1920s) which is open (subject to non-point source pollution) and to replace a water pipeline (c. 1880s) which was constructed with lead-solder joints (currently unusable). The town of Peach Springs, the reservation’s population center, currently relies on a domestic water source located in the town of Truxton (off-reservation). The restored tank and new pipeline will serve as the town’s only on-reservation domestic water supply. Status: Ongoing
