MAYOR’S MESSAGE
A LIGHT IN THE DESERT: Murray City Power Brings Hope to Navajo Families
Today, nearly 10,000 families across the Navajo Nation still live without electricity. In many of these homes, children do homework by fashlight or candlelight. Families rely on generators, wood-burning stoves, coolers flled with ice, or long car drives to charge a phone. For most of us, it is difcult to imagine life without something as basic as fipping on a light switch.
This reality inspired the Light Up Navajo project, a partnership between the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) and the American Public Power Association. Each year, the partnership brings utility crews from across the country together to connect homes to the electrical grid for the very frst time. Since the project began in 2019, hundreds of homes have received electricity through the eforts of utility workers who volunteer to participate in the project and share their skills to serve families living in some of the most remote areas of the country.
For the ffth time, Murray City Power employees raised their hands to volunteer to be part of this efort alongside their peers at the NTUA.
Last year, I had the opportunity to travel with our volunteers to see the work in action. Watching the lights come on inside a home for the very frst time was nearly a holy experience.
This year, Murray City’s crew helped energize three homes in the Shiprock District of New Mexico. They worked long days in remote desert conditions installing poles, transformers, and electrical lines alongside volunteers from across the country. Volunteers described meeting families who live without running water, refrigeration, internet access, or even lights, who greet volunteers with kindness and gratitude.
One moment during this year’s appreciation dinner will stay with the Murray crew. A Navajo elder stood before the volunteers and explained that connecting a home is not “just another day of work” to a lineman, to their families it means a better future for their children. Grandchildren who once did homework in dim light would now have electricity for the frst time.

Murray City will be constructing a new storm drain line on 900 East from Woodoak Lane to 5700 South. This project begins the week of May 18 and is expected to last though summer. This project will provide future storm drain connections for the neighborhoods east of 900 East that lack storm drain infrastructure. Delays on 900 East can be expected.

Our linemen and utility crews respond when people need help. They restore power during storms and work long nights during emergencies. Light Up Navajo reinforces that public service goes beyond Murray City to help people wherever they may live.
Our volunteers leave behind families, volunteer their personal time, and travel hundreds of miles to work in extremely challenging conditions to improve strangers’ lives.
Thank you to the men and women of Murray City Power for keeping the lights on in Murray City and sharing some of that light beyond.
WHY I KEEP GOING BACK
Justin Larsen is a Murray City Power Line Crew Supervisor and has participated in all fve of Murray City’s Light Up Navajo service trips.
Over the last fve years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel to the Navajo Nation and help build power lines for families who have lived without electricity for generations. It’s something that has left a lasting impact on me.
Many of the people we help live without running water, without lights, and many of the comforts most of us consider normal — yet you never hear complaints. Instead, you’re met with kindness, and strength. I’ve met some of the best people during these trips, and they’ve taught me a lot about perspective and appreciation.
I’m also incredibly grateful to Mayor Brett Hales and our City Council for supporting me and allowing me the opportunity to go help year after year. This work brings opportunity and a better quality of life to people who truly deserve it.
These experiences have meant more to me than I can fully put into words. I’m grateful to have been part of it.
