ARCTIC WATER WORKS is one of 109 community water systems in Alaska in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 600 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2015; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 28 entries between 1985 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.

Of the 28, 24 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 Total Coliform Rules, inorganic chemicals, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
