These checklists apply to public water systems (PWS) requesting construction or operational approval (if approval to construct was not requested prior to construction) for the following:

  • New construction
  • System modifications and/or change of use
  • Separation distance waivers

The checklists are based on the plan review requirements as referenced in the State of Alaska Drinking Water Regulations, 18 AAC 80 (amended as of May 3, 2019). These checklists supersede all previous versions.

The checklists are intended to be used as guidance documents only. Completion of the checklists may not constitute a complete submittal. Additional project information not identified in the checklists may be requested by the Department as a part of the plan review process.

Plans can be submitted by email :
