From the transcript
One of the biggest improvements we've made in Rampart has been bringing running water into our homes. Our tribal council worked in partnership with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and THC to install install wells, plumbing, and sewer boxes in the majority of the houses in Rampart. Having running water is something many people take for granted, but when you've lived without it, you understand what a difference it makes. Being able to turn on the faucet, wash your hands, wash your dishes, and take a shower in your own home shouldn't be considered a luxury.
