KETCHIKAN PUBLIC UTILITIES is among the 16 largest community water systems in Alaska, serving 8,937 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 62 entries between 1979 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.

Of the 62, 28 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and inorganic chemicals.
