How does Bristol Bay Lodge compare with other water systems in Dillingham Census Area County?
By EPA's size categories, Bristol Bay Lodge is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Dillingham Census Area County has 24 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 288 people per system, and accounts for 0.7% of the 6,913 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Bristol Bay Lodge is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

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 Bristol Bay Lodge?
EPA lists Bristol Bay Lodge as privately owned. 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. 8 of the 24 active systems in Dillingham Census Area County (33%) are also privately owned.
Does Bristol Bay Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between June 2019 and September 2025. By type: 4 monitoring, 3 required treatment not met, 2 monitoring and reporting, 2 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (8 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.
