Water Service Line Material Inventory The City of Saint Paul is performing a water service line material inventory for all buildings served by the water utility. The United States Environmental Project Agency’s (USEPA) Safe Drinking Water Act requires that public water systems – like the Saint Paul Island water utility – perform these surveys to identify if and where lead service lines exist in water systems. The City has contracted Kuna Engineering to perform the survey.

Announcements Water Service Line Material Inventory Rescheduled for January

The Project will develop a new solid waste disposal facility on the 25-acre Aalax subdivision site in preparation for the closure of the existing Ataqan landfill in the spring of 2028. This project includes development of new landfill cells, fencing, signage, equipment building, access road and purchase of equipment for solid waste management including new burn boxes, heavy equipment, and drop boxes. Benefits to the Community ~ This project is essential to meet the basic health and sanitation needs of the community of Saint Paul Island. Saint Paul Island is an important fishing port in the Bering Sea and therefore a proper landfill is critical for the needs of the Bering Sea Commercial fisheries. In addition, with its sensitive environmental and abundant marine wildlife it is critical that the community and fishing industry have a landfill that will protect the important surrounding ecosystem. The goal is to move the solid waste management facility from the south end of the runway
