Friends of Fish Creek Anchorage

Friends of Fish Creek Anchorage We are daylighting Fish Creek, known as Ch’atanaltsegh and Łiq'aka Betnu in Dena'ina. Let's fix that.

The 8-mile waterway supported salmon runs until it was decimated by 1970s-era development.

Dear Friends of Fish Creek:

You will see heavy equipment operating in the Fish Creek Estuary [Łiq'aka Betnu in Dena'ina] due to a catastrophic break in the 30" sewer pipe buried there. Assembly Member Anna Brawley alerted the Westside community that Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility is using the AK Railroad access road adjacent to the estuary to excavate and repair the broken pipe. Follow us here for more information about the repair schedule and the extent of the contamination of the estuary, which unfortunately has occurred just as the earliest bird migrations are expected in Anchorage. Much of the lift station and pipe infrastructure for the sewer line was under construction less than 10 years ago. We're monitoring the response and hope contamination will be limited.

Reach out to us here or at: [email protected] for more information.
