There are no docking facilities, although cargo barges deliver during the summer. Residents use fishing boats, skiffs, snow machines and ATVs for local transportation. Climate Precipitation averages 16 inches in this area, with snowfall of 50 inches. Only one watering point, with storage capacity of less than 7,000 gallons, serves the entire community, washeteria, and school. The washeteria was rehabilitated in 1996, but water shortages are limiting its use.
Residents use a honeybucket system with disposal in sewage pits.
A larger water storage tank, water system improvements and a more effective sewage disposal system are necessary. Your comments and questions are welcome.
