How does International Paper compare with other water systems in McCurtain County?

By EPA's size categories, International Paper is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). McCurtain County has 15 active public water systems. Its population served is about 57% below the county average of 1,984 people per system, and accounts for 2.8% of the 29,759 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Oklahoma, the 1,254 active systems average 2,907 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so International Paper is about twice that figure.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Oklahoma has 84 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.7% of the state's 1,254 active systems. Surface water means the system draws its water from rivers, lakes, streams or reservoirs. 175 Oklahoma systems (14%) list surface water as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates International Paper?

EPA lists International Paper 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. 14 of the 15 active systems in McCurtain County (93%) are also owned by a local government.

Does International Paper have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 8 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between March 2021 and July 2025. By type: 8 required treatment not met, 2 monitoring and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 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.
