At Heart Mountain, support facilities included a water reservoir on the hill, a water treatment plant across Highway 14A, a sewage treatment plant beside the military police complex, a fire station at the intersection, the police station in Block 21, the courthouse in Block 28, the Heart Mountain Sentinel newspaper office in the administration area, and the relocation center cemetery at the foot of the hill. Water for domestic use was pumped from the Shoshone River below the camp to a treatment area south of Highway 14A, then treated, filtered, pumped by the high level pumping plant into the concrete reservoir, and distributed through the camp by gravity. The sewage disposal plant included sludge beds, a pump house, a chlorination house, and a large buried Imhoff tank. Security was handled by the Military Police, while selected internees served as internal camp police with authority to bring people who were fighting, drunk, or carrying weapons to the Military Police barracks. In Block 28, the Judicial Commission, made up of three to seven internees appointed by the internee-elected Chartered Council, could levy fines of up to $300 for disorderly conduct or violations of internal regulation. Fire posed a serious danger because the barracks were flimsy and heated by coal stoves; the Fire Department, organized on September 1, 1942, sometimes fought fires in temperatures as low as thirty degrees below zero, while frozen pipes in the water system sometimes cracked and residents kept stoves burning as volunteers walked fire watch on cold nights. Internee Bill Hosokawa founded the weekly center newspaper, The Heart Mountain Sentinel, which was edited in camp, printed in Cody, carried a mimeographed Japanese language supplement, published about 6000 copies each week, and was produced by internees without interference from the administration; it first sold for 3 cents and later for 2 cents after advertisers supported it. Between 1942 and 1945, 185 persons died at Heart Mountain; some bodies were sent to Great Falls, Montana, for cremation at a cost of $100, others were buried in the camp cemetery, and after the war all but five were exhumed and removed to the West Coast, with the five unclaimed bodies moved to the Powell Cemetery.
