ANS Gambles $40,000
And Finds Water In 403
Foot Well at Bethel
JUNEAU, W*)—A $40,000 gamble
has paid off and the village of
Bethel in western Alaska has its
first water well.
Hugh Wade, director of the Al
aska Native Service, said Monday
water was struck at the 403-foot
level after digging through 400
feet of permafrost.
Some $40,000 had been pro
vided to sink a well 500 feet deep
in search of water.
Previously Kuskokwim River
water had been filtered at Bethel
but it was a costly process. The
well will serve a 70-bed hospital
being constructed at Bethel to re
place an institution destroyed by
fire in 1950.
