Work moves forward to give a Utah community water and power

Work is proceeding to give a southeastern Utah community basic infrastructure. Westwater, just outside Blanding, still has no dedicated electricity or running water. Last year, lawmakers visited the community as part of a push by Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson to fund infrastructure improvements for the community.
