Speranza's water problem doesn't magically vanish when you finish Source of the Contamination. Celeste makes that clear the second you're back in town. "Switching the Supply" is your stopgap job: go under the Spaceport and redirect clean water from an old reserve so the settlement can breathe for a bit. It's not a loot-carry quest, which changes how you should approach it. If you're the kind of player who hates losing a favourite kit, go in light and treat it like a quick run, the same way you'd do when you're just checking ARC Raiders Items and planning your next build.
Load into the Spaceport and get your bearings on the Launch Towers. You'll spot them from almost anywhere, so use them like a compass. Your goal is the underground tunnel network, and there are a few entries, but the simplest one tends to be a wide, broken opening in the ground just southwest of the tower cluster. People waste time hunting for "the perfect" entrance, then get jumped topside. Don't. Move with purpose, drop into that hole, and accept that the first thirty seconds are the risky part. Once you're down, you're at least out of long sightlines.
Down below, the route is more straightforward than it sounds. Follow the main passage, stay off the side spurs unless you're deliberately scavving, and watch for the pipework hugging the walls. You're looking for a red valve wheel mounted on the piping. It pops out once you're close, especially if your torch catches it. Walk up, interact, and you'll get the objective tick straight away. No carrying, no "secure the item," no forced extract. That's the whole point of the mission: flip the supply and you've done your bit.
Even though you don't need to extract, you still need to survive long enough to leave if you care about what you brought in. The tunnels are tight, sound travels, and it's easy to blunder into another squad or ARC units at the worst moment. If you hear steps, stop sprinting and let them pass; most fights down there happen because someone panics and barrels around a corner. After the valve, you can either bee-line to the nearest way out or linger for scraps, but don't kid yourself—greed is how "quick runs" turn into losses. The payoff is solid: a blue Radio Renegade outfit variant, the Spaceport Trench Tower Key for later restricted doors, and some Synthesized Fuel for crafting.
Once you're topside again, head back to Speranza and talk to Celeste to close it out and open up "A Warm Place to Rest." It's a neat little bridge quest, and it feels good because it's clean: one clear objective, one clean confirmation, no nonsense. If you're planning future Spaceport runs, that key reward matters, and it's worth thinking about what you'll do with it before you dive back in, especially if you've been browsing ARC Raiders Items for sale and weighing whether to gear up heavier next time.
