Community Utility Assistance Program

“Empowering Utilities Together”

Welcome to the Tribal Community Utility Assistance Program (CUAP) page. The CUAP is a partnership of Norton Sound Health Corporation, Kawerak, Inc., and Norton Sound Economic Development Corporation. Through this partnership, the CUAP provides support to cities in management of their water and wastewater utilities, from operation and maintenance help to assistance with bookkeeping, budgeting and governance.

 

Vision

Healthy and thriving communities where all people in the Bering Strait region have self-determined access to safe, efficient, and financially sustainable utility services.

Mission

To collectively empower communities in the Bering Strait region for the development and sustainable management of water and sanitation services.

What We Do

  • Technical advice and direction for operation and maintenance of the utility
  • Training and technical assistance to the city to enable it to maintain accounting and office management systems adequate for administration of federal, state, and other grants funds
  • Support with updates to the utility ordinance and tariff ordinance for city utilities
  • Provide guidance and assistance to communities to meet state and federal water and sewer standards
  • Training for city water plant operators and city clerks/administrators
  • Support for increasing Best Practice Scores
  • And more!
