Enforcement actions

Alaska regulators took 3 formal enforcement actions against Golovin Community Water System and issued 4 boil water orders between 2001 and 2022. The most recent was a boil water order in August 2022.

Date By Action Violations covered
Aug 16, 2022 Alaska Boil water order 1 violation
Jul 28, 2022 Alaska Boil water order 1 violation
Oct 25, 2016 Alaska Boil water order 3 violations: Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
May 29, 2012 Alaska Boil water order 1 violation
Feb 12, 2007 Alaska Compliance order (no penalty) 129 violations (11 health-based): Total Coliform, Chlorine, Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), Consumer Confidence Rule, Surface Water Treatment Rule
Aug 19, 2004 Alaska Compliance order (no penalty) 63 violations: Surface Water Treatment Rule, Consumer Confidence Rule, Total Coliform, Toluene, Ethylbenzene
Aug 14, 2001 Alaska Signed compliance agreement 2 violations: Surface Water Treatment Rule

What the violations mean

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)

5 incidents

Haloacetic acid byproducts exceeded the federal limit

Long-term exposure to HAAs may increase cancer risk

Surface Water Treatment Rule

2 incidents

The 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 incident

The 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

Golovin Community Water System draws water from 1 surface water intake.

Annual water quality report

Golovin Community 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 Golovin Community 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.
