What the violations mean
Surface Water Treatment Rule
6 incidentsThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that the Surface Water Treatment Rule requires (a treatment technique violation).

Where the water comes from
Atka draws water from 1 surface water intake.
Annual water quality report
Atka must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask Atka for a copy.
Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search
Testing your own water
To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Alaska.
