On-Site Water & Wastewater Program

Open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m.

The On-Site Water and Wastewater Program regulates the design and installation of septic systems and water wells for single-family homes.  There are over 15,000 on-site septic systems in the Municipality of Anchorage serving more than 50,000 residents.  These systems produce an average of 4 million gallons of septic effluent per day.  The program helps make sure this effluent is treated appropriately to protect the water quality in Anchorage.  The On-site Water and Wastewater Program also actively promotes the testing and installation of innovative wastewater treatment systems.
