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.
Who owns and regulates New Cordell Utility Authority?

Does New Cordell Utility Authority have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between April 2023 and January 2026. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate-Nitrite (6 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
