How does America'S Best Inn compare with other water systems in Miami-Dade County?

By EPA's size categories, America'S Best Inn is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Miami-Dade County has 172 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 19,337 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 3,326,006 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Florida, the 5,197 active systems average 4,345 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so America'S Best 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. Florida has 2,777 active transient non-community water systems, 53% of the state's 5,197 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,996 Florida systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates America'S Best Inn?

EPA lists America'S Best Inn as privately owned. The FL state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 130 of the 172 active systems in Miami-Dade County (76%) are also privately owned.

Does America'S Best Inn have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 10 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2012. The violations listed here began between April 2002 and July 2012. By type: 10 contaminant level above the legal limit and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (12 of them). EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 as resolved. 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. 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.
