Access to water makes life possible in remote desert locations. But in a small community in eastern Arizona, residents haven't had water or plumbing available since Saturday night.Crews are hard at work Monday in San Simon, Ariz., working to restore access to a well that provides nearly 350 people with water.San Simon resident Judy White hopes her faith in a working water pump pays off soon.'I'm gonna have faith that they get it done,' White says.
While Fickett says help could be on the way from the state, the biggest hurdle right now is time.'The state is, with ADEQ and funding that they have available, they are working to get us another well,' Fickett tells me. 'And that's in the process but, as things go, that doesn't move too fast.'For now, bottled water is available at the local fire house as San Simon's tight-knit community continues looking out for neighbors.
