Tribal police say closures force extensions, with Window Rock and Shiprock facilities affected. A June 21 court date will decide actions, including possible lifting of the rule.

Fence Lake Faces Repeated Water Crisis in Grants County
Grans County Commissioners hear Fence Lake residents report a collapsed 53 year old water well and a failing household supply. About 50 residents have hauled water for five weeks while a new well is drilled 25 yards from the old site. Officials explore $11,000 funding options, with state and federal funds under review and possible National Guard aid for water deliveries. The area must be regulated by the NMED, imposing a three cent per 1,000 gallons tax to fund testing, affecting Fence Lake users and costing Grants about $22,000 annually.
