BETHEL, Alaska (AP) The people of the village of Tuluksak have potable running water back after over a month without it.
A fire destroyed the village s water purification plant in January, KYUK-AM reported Friday.
Until the first week of March, residents relied on donations of bottled water.
The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation last Tuesday managed to restore drinking water by installing a reverse osmosis water filtration system, which is also known as RO.
“It goes through a series of filters to filter out any kind of contamination, and then it goes through an RO treatment, which further treats it, said Cindy Christian, the project manager for the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Drinking Water Program.
