Eaglecrest Ski Area's water system in Juneau, serving an estimated 771 people through three connections, logged a health-based treatment technique violation in March, meaning a required treatment step was skipped. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System lists it as AK2110643, with a compliance period running March 1 to March 31, 2026. No return-to-compliance date is recorded. Tier 1, the most urgent notification level, requires suppliers to notify customers within 24 hours of violations posing serious short-term health risks. It is city-owned and classed as transient, serving visitors not households.

Five other Alaska systems recorded Tier 2 violations in March, serving populations from 40 to 508. Most of Alaska's 4,662 logged records are Tier 3 monitoring and reporting lapses.

Separately, 92 Alaska water systems serving 29,185 people carry the serious-violator designation, a distinct measure from these notification tiers. The state's last formal enforcement action in that category was logged in August 2020.
