BUCKLAND WATER SYSTEM

BUCKLAND WATER SYSTEM (PWSID AK2340125) is a cws water system drawing from a surface water source, regulated by the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. It serves approximately 600 people in Buckland, AK, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the Alaska drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 128 total violations, with 128 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 5 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Turbidity, Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM), Arsenic. Recorded violations span 2000–2025.

A historical violation does not necessarily describe current water quality, systems must notify customers and remediate, and monitoring-type violations often reflect reporting lapses rather than contamination. The most authoritative real-time source is the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
