What the violations mean
Surface Water Treatment Rule
50 incidentsThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that the Surface Water Treatment Rule requires (a treatment technique violation).
The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
1 incidentThe system did not meet a filtration or treatment requirement for surface water
Inadequate treatment of surface water can let pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia through
Where the water comes from
Kivalina Water System draws water from 1 surface water intake. 1 smaller public system such as schools, businesses or campgrounds buys water from Kivalina Water System.
Annual water quality report
Kivalina Water System 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 Kivalina Water System 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.
Certified drinking water labs by state EPA guidance for private wells
