Many homes in Koyuk are without drinking water this week, prompting donations of bottled water from both the Bering Strait Native Corporation and Kawerak.
The Bering Strait Native Corporation is providing 100 cases of drinking water to the city of Koyuk. The donation comes after a recent freeze affected homes and other buildings.
“We’ve been without water for about maybe five weeks, and the shortage of water has been just a hustle and bustle,” Kimoktoak said. “Trying to get drinking water to the homes has been a struggle for most.” “The water froze on the west loop that town and it just kind of continued with each home,” Kimoktoak said. “We couldn’t get water through the system.”
