How does Border Inn compare with other water systems in White Pine County?
By EPA's size categories, Border Inn is a very small system (500 people or fewer). White Pine County has 26 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 498 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 12,946 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Nevada, the 643 active systems average 5,508 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Border 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. Nevada has 258 active transient non-community water systems, 40% of the state's 643 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 557 Nevada systems (87%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Border Inn?
EPA lists Border Inn as privately owned. The NV state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 11 of the 26 active systems in White Pine County (42%) are also privately owned.
Does Border Inn have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2001 and January 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived and 6 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.
