The $267 million project will supply water to around 250,000 people in 43 chapters of the Navajo nation, with an initial capacity to treat up to 18.8 million gallons per day and the ability to eventually double its capacity, the company said.

The project also includes commissioning of the San Juan Lateral distribution system as well as daily operations and maintenance.
