Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Anchorage tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Anchorage, PFOA 9.1 ng/L (limit 4 ng/L) and PFHxS 11.2 ng/L (limit 10 ng/L) were measured above their limits in EPA's 2024 testing. MOA MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE (PWSID AK2210906) has a Purity Score of 57/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
Who provides tap water in Anchorage?
MOA MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE (PWS ID AK2210906) is the public water system on record for Anchorage, Alaska, serving about 221,351 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Anchorage get its drinking water?
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Anchorage's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-01-23 to 2023-10-03), PFOA was measured at 9.1 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFHxS was measured at 11.2 ng/L against a 10 ng/L federal limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Is there lead in Anchorage's tap water?
Lead is not in Anchorage's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
What does the latest Anchorage water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Anchorage holds 32 findings: 2 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference and 29 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
Is Anchorage's water hard?
Anchorage's water is recorded as 6.2 gpg, moderately hard. Hardness is an aesthetic and plumbing characteristic, not a health-based limit.
