On Tuesday, the City of Bethel held a public meeting to address concerns regarding recent water tests. In September 2018, test results showed elevated levels of copper and lead exceeding federal standards in some locations in Bethel’s City Subdivision. Testing in July of this year showed decreased levels of copper and lead that meet federal standards. 

Speaking at the meeting were:

  • Bill Howell, City of Bethel Acting City Manager
  • Cindy Christian, Drinking Water Program Manager, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation 
  • Jonathan Bressler, Public Health Specialist, Alaska Department of Health and Social Services
  • Chase Nelson, Civil Engineer, DOWL Engineering
