- A boil water advisory was set on the Nursing Station PWS-NT Semi-Public Water System in October 2025 and became long-term in October 2026
The drinking water advisory was issued because the water was not being adequately treated. Some repairs to the water treatment system have been completed. The local operations team will finish other repairs once parts are available. Once water quality testing confirms the system meets all the necessary standards, the community will be able to lift the advisory.
