LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE EMMONAK WATER AND SEWER PROJECT
1991
In November 1990, the finishing touches were put on a water and sewer project in Emmonak, Alaska that took nearly eight years and $10 million to complete. Since the early 1970s, residents of this remote Eskimo community have operated a central laundromat facility, but an upgrade to piped household water and sewer was desired. Motivation for this project came from the 650 residents who were hauling "honey bucket" waste, and recognition of a growing public health problem that could in part be traced to inadequate sewage collection and disposal methods. This paper summarizes the technical, fiscal, and political lessons learned from the Emmonak experience.
