Key facts for Alaska
- Alaska DEC requires inventories to cover the entire service line, from the main to where the line enters the building, regardless of ownership.
- DEC’s page says the initial Alaska lead service line inventory deadline was October 16, 2024.
- DEC says water systems can upload results to the Lead-Safe Alaska Portal, which shows live statewide progress.
- College and Golden Heart Utilities say their systems are free of lead, but they inventoried customer-owned lines under the EPA rule.
- That utility tells customers to contact it first if a lead line is found so utility-side work can be coordinated and partial replacement avoided.
What to do next
- Use the Lead-Safe Alaska Portal to check whether your utility has posted submitted inventory results for your area.
- If your utility is College or Golden Heart, follow its pipe-testing instructions and submit the survey to help confirm your address material.
- If you think you have a lead line, coordinate with the utility before private replacement so both sides can be checked together.
