“This affects the whole entire community,” Tuluksak School teacher Adam Swenson said.
In early February, a water line leak was discovered in Tuluksak. Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation maintenance workers examined the leak, but were unable to fix it. The Tuluksak Native Community and Gov. Mike Dunleavy both declared disasters for the community on Feb. 24.In 2021, a fire destroyed the water treatment plant in Tuluksak, prompting ain January of 2021. Water had to be flown to the rural community in bottles, and a temporary fix was installed.
“The temporary water treatment plant provides running water to the school and subsequently to the teacher housing. Some of the pipe had to be buried underground as it crossed main roads to the village, and about three or four weeks ago, one of the pipes underground burst, and water was no longer able to be supplied to the school, and then subsequently to the teacher housing,” Shoemaker said. “They cannot find the leak because of the ground being frozen.
“Our staff, our teachers, all of us are having to work overtime and work extra hard in doing a lot of extra preparation and thought and planning just so we can keep our school open, which is very draining on our teachers that you know, teaching in and of itself is a very demanding job and our teachers are having to, you know, go above and beyond, just so we can keep the school open.”
