The Walker River Tribe in Nevada Receives $2.4M for Clean Water Infrastructure Project
Members of the Walker River Paiute Tribe who depend on well water have been plagued by water scarcity, brought on by a lack of infrastructure and funding. Between aging pipes, pollutants and regional drought, the tribe's existing water infrastructure has been stretched to its limits. But after seven years of lobbying, the Walker River Paiute Tribe now has the funding it needs for a $12 million water system improvement project to secure a reliable and sustainable water supply for well users on the tribe's reservation. In total, the project will provide a comprehensive domestic water supply distribution system for more than 100 residences on the reservation.
