The notice
The Gambell public water system (PWSID 340751) was placed on a boil water notice on 9/29/2026 due to a loss of pressure in the distribution system occurring as the result of an extended power outage. Power and pressure have been restored. The boil water notice will remain in place until an adequate number of clean total coliform samples have been collected and reported.
