What the violations mean
Surface Water Treatment Rule
25 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
10 incidentsThe 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
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
1 incidentDisinfection byproduct levels exceeded the federal limit
Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk
LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS
1 incidentThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that the LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS requires (a treatment technique violation).
The utility had to notify customers about this violation.
Where the water comes from
Selawik Safewater Facility draws water from 1 surface water intake.
Annual water quality report
Selawik Safewater Facility 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.
Where the state allows it, systems serving fewer than 10,000 people may publish the report in a local newspaper or news site instead of mailing it, and must provide a copy on request.

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.
