Four watering points are available. In 1976, a piped water and sewer system was constructed to serve the school, teacher's quarters, clinic, senior center, and IRA council building. The flight service station and FAA housing have their own well. Piped waste is treated in a sewage lagoon, with River outfall. A few residents are served by this system.
Most residents haul treated water from the washeteria and haul honeybuckets.
Funds have been provided to overhaul portions of the City's piped system and install arctic mains. Preliminary work on a new washeteria, watering point and water treatment plant will begin in 1998. The landfill is not permitted, but was upgraded in 1997. The City is currently developing a Transfer Agreement, to transfer the operations of the water and sewer utilities to a non-profit. Your comments and questions are welcome.
