Spoiler alert to anyone looking forward to reading the City’s annual Drinking Water Quality Report which will soon be in your mailboxes!  

Data we collected for 2017 confirms that our rigorous water management and cutting-edge treatment techniques result in top-quality tap water that meets or beats all quality standards set by the federal government.

The Drinking Water Quality Report also tells the story of how we make this happen through protecting the watershed around the Bridge Creek Reservoir, through our continuous treatment and monitoring activities, and by maintaining over 50 miles of pipes to make sure the water gets to our customers safely and efficiently.

The City’s efforts have earned several awards from the Alaska Rural Water Association, including Source Water System of the Year and Wastewater Operator of the Year in 2017! 

We hope you take the time to look this document over and if you have any questions, the Water/Wastewater Utility Management staff at Public Works would be very pleased to discuss them with you.
