NORTH POLE UTILITIES is among the 25 largest community water systems in Alaska, serving 4,005 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 33 entries between 1988 and 1998, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1998.
All 33 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 volatile organic chemicals and inorganic chemicals.
