How does Goltry compare with other water systems in Alfalfa County?
By EPA's size categories, Goltry is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Alfalfa County has 11 active public water systems, and Goltry is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 34% below the county average of 409 people per system, and accounts for 6% of the 4,497 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 Goltry 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 Goltry?
EPA lists Goltry 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. 9 of the 11 active systems in Alfalfa County (82%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Goltry have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between July 2012 and October 2024. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met, 1 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
