Moenkopi Village celebrates new wastewater treatment plant opening
Self-sustaining infrastructure will be the secret success ingredient

MOENKOPI-The celebratory mood during the grand opening of the Moenkopi Developers Corporation's (MDC) new wastewater treatment plant on Nov. 27 was blessed with a gentle early morning rain shower.
