How does New Budget Inn compare with other water systems in Preble County?
By EPA's size categories, New Budget Inn is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Preble County has 28 active public water systems.

Does New Budget Inn have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2021. The violations listed here began between July 1997 and March 2021. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
