How does Glacier Inn compare with other water systems in Alaska?
By EPA's size categories, Glacier Inn is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Across Alaska, the 1,322 active systems average 653 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Glacier Inn is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. 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 Glacier Inn?
EPA lists Glacier Inn 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.
Does Glacier Inn have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2014 and July 2025. By type: 6 monitoring, 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
