GAMBELL WASHETERIA/HIGH SCHOOL Water System

Inactive system

If you are a resident looking for your current water provider, see water systems in Nome Census Area County, AK.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Alaska’s official records. Always confirm current status with Alaska before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): AK2340303
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 251
Service connections: 2
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

GAMBELL WASHETERIA/HIGH SCHOOL is one of 698 community water systems in Alaska in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 251 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1994; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 81 entries between 1979 and 1994, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1994.

Of the 81, 77 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 inorganic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
