U.S. Rep Derek Kilmer is calling for more access to a life-saving antidote to heroin overdose, particularly in rural areas that need it most. Kilmer this week urged the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to expand grants and programs that make naloxone more available in places like the North Olympic Peninsula. Public health officials in Clallam and Jefferson counties say they applaud the Kilmer effort. “Congressman Kilmer understands the problems faced by rural counties in dealing with the opioid/heroin epidemic,” said Iva Burks, Clallam County Health and Human Services director. “As a provider of naloxone, we know it can save lives.” Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that temporarily blocks the effects of heroin or opioidbased prescription pills like oxycodone. It can prevent overdoses from becoming fatal by reversing the depression of the central nervous system and respiratory system, allowing the patient to breathe long enough for medical help to arrive.

These fees will respectively increase to $24 and $28.80 in 2018. The surcharge will continue until the loan is paid off. The new water facility is slated for completion in late October and will be built in two phases: the main plant and a new storage reservoir to replace the current one, which is not earthquake-proof.
