How does Freedom compare with other water systems in Woods County?
By EPA's size categories, Freedom is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Woods County has 10 active public water systems, and Freedom is the 5th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 64% below the county average of 772 people per system, and accounts for 3.6% of the 7,723 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Oklahoma, the 1,254 active systems average 2,907 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Freedom is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Oklahoma has 864 active community water systems, 69% of the state's 1,254 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 67 Oklahoma systems (5.3%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Freedom?
EPA lists Freedom as owned by a local government. The OK state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 7 of the 10 active systems in Woods County (70%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Freedom have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2017 and October 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Chlorine (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 4 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
