The State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation awarded 性欲社鈥檚 water utility 鈥淯rsa Major鈥 status this fall for excellence in water treatment and water distribution systems. The recognition program, established in 2019, recognizes systems that have maintained operator training and compliance for four quarters and did not incur any drinking water violations.

Facilities Services credits the recognition to several factors:


  • 性欲社鈥檚 decision to close the outdated drinking water processing facility in 2016 and transition to drinking water purchased from College Utilities;

  • Upgrades to the water lab鈥檚 systems, new procedures to maintain compliance and the staff鈥檚 dedication to those procedures; and

  • Training for all water plant employees to help them earn and maintain their operator licenses.


Utilities staff key to this recognition include utilidor mechanic Mike Rego, boiler water treatment specialist James Hocking and former water treatment specialist Danny Heselton. All three have been instrumental in improving water quality for campus users.

性欲社 publishes an annual water quality report for the campus community. The 2018 report (PDF) is available online.
