How to look up your drinking water system
Start with a utility bill, PWSID, state lookup tool, or official report so you can find the public water system behind a city or provider name.

What Alaska's annual compliance summary counts
DEC's 2025 annual compliance summary reports the following for regulated public water systems. These are DEC's statewide report totals, not the number of profiles available on this site or a current inventory of active systems.
- Regulated systems in the report
- 1,327
- Systems with one or more violations
- 530
- Violation records
- 6,777
One system can receive multiple violations. DEC separates maximum contaminant level and treatment-technique violations from monitoring and other requirements, including reporting. A missed monitoring requirement is not itself a measured contaminant exceedance. Do not add overlapping system categories or turn these totals into a percentage of homes with safe or unsafe water.
Alaska record tools
Find your system in Drinking Water Viewer
Alaska DEC separates its public records across two tools. Use Viewer for general system records; use Watch for Monitoring Summaries and Source Water Assessment Summaries.
The Alaska DEC Drinking Water Program oversees regulated public water systems. Its records do not include every private supply. Start with the provider on your bill; a city name or a point on a map cannot confirm service to your address.
Choose Water System ID
Open Alaska Drinking Water Viewer and select Water System ID. Use the full PWSID from your bill or official provider record.
Try the Anchorage example
Enter AK2210906 and press Enter. In our September 12, 2026 check, the search returned MOA MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE. Open the result and compare its name and ID. The official Anchorage record is a worked example, not a claim that this provider serves every Anchorage address.
Choose the record you need
Use Viewer for system details and available water-test records. DEC's data gallery directs users to Watch for Monitoring Summaries and Source Water Assessment Summaries. These are different from a utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
Confirm the provider, then check dates
If the match is uncertain, contact the provider shown on your bill. For this example, use the AWWU water-quality contact page. Check the period on each report and use current notice sources separately.
Reports and current instructions
Use the right source for the question
Find an annual report
DEC's Consumer Confidence Report guidance explains reports prepared by community water systems. Each describes a calendar year, including sources, detections and compliance information.
The AWWU drinking water reports page lists Anchorage and Girdwood separately. Choose the report for your system, then check its reporting period. The publication year or download date is not necessarily the year the data describes.
For a missing report, request it from your provider. For Anchorage, use AWWU’s water-quality contact page. If you need another language or format, ask what is available; this page does not confirm a particular accommodation.
Browse AWWU drinking water reportsCheck current notices separately
Open DEC's Boil Water and Do Not Drink Notices map and contact your system operator for current instructions.
The map's coverage notes limit it to regulated public water systems, excluding unregulated wells and intakes. Its stated daily updates are not a guarantee of real-time completeness. An absent marker does not establish that there is no notice.
For utility service issues, use your provider. For program or compliance questions, use DEC's regional and program contacts. DEC lists 907-269-7656 as its main program office when you are unsure whom to contact. This is not presented as an emergency line.
For the Anchorage example, AWWU's Outages and Repairs page provides contact and update channels. Contact the utility for current instructions; this page does not establish whether a water-quality notice is active.

Lead inventories, private wells and source water
Service-line inventories
DEC's service-line inventory guidance links the Lead-Safe Alaska Portal. The portal assists community and non-transient non-community public water systems with inventories; it also links inventories hosted by Anchorage and Valdez.
Ask your provider about the record for your property, its material classification and when it was verified. Missing or unknown inventory information does not establish a non-lead line. We have not verified property-level materials or a resident replacement offer here.
If you use a private well
DEC says its Drinking Water Program does not test or regulate private drinking-water well quality. Use its private-well guidance and local referrals instead of treating absence from Viewer as a water-quality finding.
DEC maintains microbiology and chemistry laboratory certification lists. Check the specific analyte, method, certification status and expiration. Confirm submission requirements with the lab; the microbiology list marks laboratories that do not accept water from the public for testing.
Source-water assessments
Follow the DEC data gallery to Source Water Assessment Summaries in Watch. The Drinking Water Source Protection Areas Map provides separate geographic context.
A source-protection area is not a service boundary. An assessment of susceptibility is not a water-test result or proof of contamination at a tap.
Open your system's Source Water Assessment Summary in Drinking Water Watch and check the assessment's completion date. Opening an older assessment today does not make it a current water-test result.
PFAS information and rule questions
Use DEC's PFAS resource page and its linked federal sources for program and rule information. For a result, keep the system ID, analyte, collection date, units and reporting limits together; a general information page is not a test of your water.
This guide does not restate regulatory limits or compliance deadlines. Confirm the applicable rule and current dates with DEC before interpreting a result.
Alaska lookup questions
When the tools do not give you an answer
Why does DEC still link both Viewer and Watch?
DEC's data gallery assigns general record lookup to Viewer while retaining Monitoring Summaries and Source Water Assessment Summaries in Watch. Use the tool appropriate to the record, rather than assuming the two show identical information.
Why can I find a system but not my private well?
Viewer help excludes private wells and other unregulated supplies. Use DEC's private-well resources; absence from the system directory tells you nothing about your well's quality.
Does the Anchorage example identify my provider?
No. AK2210906 identifies MOA MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE in the official record. Confirm service to your address with the provider on your bill. The example teaches the lookup process; it does not establish a citywide service area.
