How does Venetie Water System compare with other water systems in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area County?
By EPA's size categories, Venetie Water System is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area County has 34 active public water systems. Its population served is roughly in line with the county average of 180 people per system, and accounts for 3% of the 6,119 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Alaska, the 1,322 active systems average 653 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Venetie Water System is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Alaska has 406 active community water systems, 31% of the state's 1,322 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 28 Alaska systems (2.1%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Venetie Water System?
EPA lists Venetie Water System as Native American-owned. The AK state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 27 of the 34 active systems in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area County (79%) are also Native American-owned.
Does Venetie Water System have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between February 2023 and March 2026. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring, 2 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 3 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
