Inside Alaska’s public well records
WELTS data is provisional and location precision varies from GPS or parcel placement to broader survey-area centroids.
These are retrieved public records, shown so you can see the identifiers, available values and gaps before running your own lookup. They are regional examples, not a statewide sample or a prediction for a property.
| Public record ID | Published locality | Published use / type | Status / location quality | Recorded depth | Reported rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23431 | Not reported | Cooling | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 902 ft | 1,800 GPM |
| 6829 | Not reported | Not reported | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 250 ft | Not reported |
| 17873 | Not reported | Not reported | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 238 ft | Not reported |
Depths are converted from the lookup’s normalized meters to feet. Reported rate can represent yield, a pump-test rate or pump capacity depending on the source; these values are historical and are not interchangeable. A source zero can be a placeholder or a reported result: verify its meaning in the original file. “Not reported” means no comparable value was retained, not zero and not proof that the original file lacks all information.
How to verify a Alaska record
Use the WELTS log ID to find the completion report. Compare the completion date with the entry or refresh date; an updated index entry is not a newly drilled well.
Open Alaska Well Log Tracking System (WELTS) ↗ and search for the identifiers above. Compare the original filing, location method and well type with seller documents and a physical well identifier.
Review method: up to three distinct public identifiers selected in returned distance order from an existing regional lookup, without selecting for an attractive depth or yield. Re-run the example lookup ↗ · How these reviews are prepared
Alaska Well Log Tracking System (WELTS)

WELTS data is provisional and location precision varies from GPS or parcel placement to broader survey-area centroids.
What you can find in Alaska well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the Alaska integration can surface:
- well log ID
- completion date
- well depth
- static water depth
- pump rate
- recovery rate
- depth to bedrock
- well use
- driller
- region
- location-source method
- official log link
How to search the Alaska well map and read a well log
- Enter the full property address above to locate the property and open nearby mapped records.
- Compare record identifiers, well type, completion date and distance before deciding which wells are relevant.
- Open the public source below to trace an original well log or completion report where the agency publishes one. A mapped summary may omit details from that document.
- Verify the actual property well with the seller, record identifiers and an on-site inspection; nearby records alone cannot identify it.
How to use the record before buying a property
Alaska's WELTS is useful because it combines construction and groundwater fields with a direct source log and an explicit location-source code that helps users judge map precision.
Start with the address search, compare the closest records and their distances, then open the public source before treating a record as the subject property's well. If water quality or current performance matters, use current testing and an on-site well inspection.
Alaska coverage limitation
Alaska DNR describes WELTS data as provisional. Location precision varies by record—from GPS or parcel-based placement to PLSS centroids—so a nearby point does not establish that the record belongs to the searched parcel.
Public Alaska source
WellLookup is independent of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The underlying public source is Alaska Well Log Tracking System (WELTS). WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it preserves the published source values.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported Alaska source.
Not necessarily. Location precision varies, so verify identifiers, documents and the physical well before relying on the match.
The $29.99 USD property report organizes the available evidence, nearby comparisons, source limitations and follow-up questions into one PDF.
