Environmental Health and Services

What We Do:

Through a combination of field work and consultation, we work to identify, prevent, and control potential environmental health causes of disease and injury in our Bristol Bay villages. Core Environmental

Health programs provide support for:

• Sanitary Drinking Water
• Sanitary Wastewater Treatment
• Injury Prevention
• Solid waste Management
• Vectorborne Illness Prevention
• Food Safety
• All General Environmental Health Topics

The community water systems in the Bristol Bay Area listed below are currently under Boil Water Notice (BWN), issued by the State of Alaska Drinking Water Program, as of the date noted.

Each water system is required to notify their consumers when boil water notices are issued. A boil water notice is issued by the State of Alaska if an event threatens public health via drinking water, and warrants immediate action by the public water system owner/operator (i.e. inadequate treatment, inadequate system pressure, confirmed E. coli detection, flooding, etc.).

BBAHC is sharing this list so that necessary arrangements can be made to ensure that customers, staff and guests have access to safe drinking water while using BBAHC facilities.
