Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 299 Oklahoma systems (24%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.

Does Ironside Water District Inc. have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between April 2019 and October 2024. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting, 1 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (4 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 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.
