How does Alaska Rainbow Lodge compare with other water systems in Lake and Peninsula Borough County?
By EPA's size categories, Alaska Rainbow Lodge is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lake and Peninsula Borough County has 15 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Alaska Rainbow Lodge is well below that figure.

Alaska has 689 active transient non-community water systems, 52% of the state's 1,322 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,054 Alaska systems (80%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Alaska Rainbow Lodge?

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. 4 of the 15 active systems in Lake and Peninsula Borough County (27%) are also privately owned.
Does Alaska Rainbow Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and October 2025. By type: 9 monitoring, 1 required treatment not met, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (9 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed and 1 as archived. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
