The road from the Navajo community of Sweetwater to Red Mesa is unpaved and rugged but well traveled.
Twice a week, about 100 residents on the outskirts of Sweetwater load up 55-gallon drums and drive 12 miles so that they can have clean drinking water for themselves and their livestock. Other water sources closer to home exceed standards for arsenic.
