We've designed this water quality report to tell you a little about the water you receive from us. It explains where your water comes from, how we treat it, and other valuable information you should know about drinking water.

We keep a watchful eye on new regulations. When new rules are under consideration, we begin research to determine if City water will meet expected limits.

This year laboratory capabilities have been upgraded for testing of the newly-regulated disinfectant byproducts Bromates and Haloacetic Acids. In addition, OKC is assisting EPA in evaluating compounds not currently regulated to help determine future needs to protect public health.

You can use and enjoy water every minute of the day, confident that the safety of our ample water supply is assured.

About Source Water

Drinking water (tap and bottled) sources include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. Naturally-occurring minerals, radioactive materials and contaminants from living organisms – including people – are picked up and dissolved in the water as it travels over the surface of the land or through the ground.

EPA Advisory Note

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as those undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have had organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.

These individuals should seek advice about drinking water from their health care provider. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from Safe Drinking Water Hotline: 800-426-4791.
