THe naVaJO TrIbaL uTILITy auTHOrITy Service Area: The Navajo Nation, 27,000 square miles Population Served: Approximately 36,600 water customers and 13,600 waste water customers (residential and commercial) Nominated By: David McDonnell, Technical Services Director, Navajo Area Established in 1959, the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) supplies and extends electricity, natural gas, water, wastewater treatment, renewable energy and telecommunications (including wholesale transmission of voice, data, graphics and other information) services to homes and businesses throughout the 27,000 square mile Navajo Nation and neighboring communities. The NTUA maintains and operates 90 public water systems throughout the Navajo Nation. The water and wastewater systems workforce includes water and wastewater construction teams, master system operators, a civil engineering division, and a complete environmental compliance and laboratory team. As the primary water supplier for the Navajo Nation, NTUA continues to encourage water conservation using the traditional Navajo phrase “To’baa’haa’haasin” which means Water is Precious. WILLIe WaTer NTUA’s To’baa’haa’haasin Water Conservation Program Mascot Drinking water resources are very limited on the Navajo reservation. Everyone can do something to conserve and use this precious resource more efficiently. NTUA has found a method that works by using the strengths of Navajo culture, language and values as a platform. The NTUA concentrated on the basic term To’ (water) and created To’baa’haa’haasin – the Water is Precious conservation campaign. The mission included introducing a mascot that effectively encourages the message. The big blue water drop is the NTUA mascot Willie Water. Willie helps to promote the To’baa’haa’haasin. Willie is most popular at elementary schools, headstart programs, and even parades and public events. The focus is younger children – as they will remember Willie and will practice To’baa’haa’haasin at home by convincing family members to save water. Reducing the use of water is the bottom line. The belief is that everyone can teach families and communities to conserve by developing basic messages related to water conservation. The campaign is more meaningful when the messages make perfect sense through the strength of native cultures, traditions and languages.
