"What modern luxury has become so integral to our daily lives that it barely deserves the title?

Running water.

You can rest assured that any time you turn a knob or faucet in Farmington, you will be met with clean, running water available for drinking, cooking, bathing and other essential tasks.

Leave Farmington, and the assurance gets a little blurry.

The Navajo people deserve clean running water like the rest of us."
