Environmental Programs — Water Testing and Household Waste Services
Free residential services for tribal members: private drinking water well testing with a written report, indoor air and mold inspections, bulk item pick-up, illegal dump site clean-up, weekend dump trailers, integrated pest management, and tire and battery disposal. Recycling bins rotate between the Apache, Walters and Cache (Cahoma) community buildings.
Who's eligible
Any Enrolled Tribal Member
The Environmental Programs pages state: "Tribal members who rely on private drinking water wells may request water testing services at no cost. Tribal members who have drinking water concerns or questions may also request an assessment or drinking water test. After the analysis is complete, a comprehensive written report detailing all findings will be provided to the requesting tribal member." Water quality testing covers pH, turbidity, nitrate-N, dissolved oxygen, temperature and conductivity. Members "can bring their tires and old batteries to the Environmental department office, to be properly disposed of, during business hours throughout the year," and the annual Tire and Battery Drive each February "is open to the public" in the Anadarko, Apache, Cache and Walters communities. "Curbside Services are offered on a case-by-case basis. You must qualify for curbside pickup before that service is rendered." The pages do not state whether services are limited to Comanche members or open to members of any federally recognized tribe. Four separate online applications are posted: indoor air inspection, water testing, bulk item pick-up and illegal dump site clean-up.
