Bridge Creek Reservoir Groundwater Study

The University of South Florida Ecohydrology Research Group (USF ERG) and the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (KBNERR) have been investigating groundwater dynamics in the Lower Kenai Peninsula for over two decades.

In 2022, the City of Homer contracted with USF ERG and KBNERR to conduct a focused investigation on the groundwater dynamics in the Bridge Creek Reservoir (BCR) which supplies water for city residents and serves as the headwaters for the South Fork Anchor River.

The report is attached here.

Youth Voucher Program

The Community Recreation Youth Voucher Program was established through the Homer Foundation's Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) who generously donated funds to ensure affordability and accessibility for local youth in the Homer area. On a first come, first serve basis, any youth may apply to receive up to a $100 voucher towards any Community Recreation program to help pay for instructor fees, punch cards or memberships.  Application is required.

Federal Funding at Homer Public Library

As the federal government continues reducing its scope of operations, patrons have asked how the changes affect services at the Homer Public Library. All regular services remain available.
