Does Tikchik Narrows Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between June 2024 and September 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
