Get Your Water Tested
Many families in communities around the Cook Inlet rely on wells, cisterns, or springs for their drinking water. We want to make sure resources are available for people to ensure their water is safe to drink! We suggest working with a state-certified drinking water testing laboratory to test your water. A list of certified labs around Alaska can be found at through the Alaska Division of Environmental Health's website: http://www.dec.state.ak.us/eh/lab/labs.htm. Inletkeeper's Outreach and Monitoring Coordinator can help you fill out paperwork, and provide instructions on how to properly take a water sample.
Through other monitoring programs, Inletkeeper works with Analytica Laboratory in Anchorage. They have provided Inletkeeper's Safe Drinking Water Program with technical assistance, sample bottle kits, and a discount for water quality testing (10% when you mention our program!).
