- Description:
- John W. Davis, Area Director of the Indian Health Service in Oklahoma City, provided a statement to the Subcommittee on Indian Affairs in 1976 detailing the Sanitary Facilities Construction Program. The program, authorized in 1959, aimed to provide water supply and waste disposal facilities for Indian homes and communities. The program evolved to support Indian housing programs, with the IHS providing technical assistance and facilities up to five feet from the home. The IHS worked closely with Indian Housing Authorities to provide suitable facilities, including water wells and waste disposal systems. The statement emphasized the importance of prioritizing funds for housing projects and ensuring compliance with water quality standards.
