Safe Drinking Water Information

Source: Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Data displays Alaska's active public water system (PWS) source locations for WL (well), IN (intake), SP (spring), IG (infiltration gallery), and RC (rain catchment) facility types. The authoritative data resides in the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's (ADEC) Safe Drinking Water Information Systems (SDWIS) State database. Corrections and revisions to facility locations are made by ADEC Drinking Water Protection staff within SDWIS State database. Data is updated daily (6AM). Location accuracy can be determined by reviewing the comment field in the attributes. If the comment section indicates that the source location has been verified by DWPP staff, it can be assumed that the accuracy is 10 meters or less. This data is provided as a service in the DCRA Information Portal by the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development Division of Community and Regional Affairs (SOA DCCED DCRA), Research and Analysis section. SOA DCCED DCRA Research and Analysis is not the authoritative source for this data. For more information and for questions about this data, see: http://data-soa-adec.opendata.arcgis.com/
