How does Pond Creek compare with other water systems in Grant County?
By EPA's size categories, Pond Creek is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Grant County has 10 active public water systems, and Pond Creek is the 2nd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 140% above the county average of 409 people per system, and accounts for 24% of the 4,090 people reported by systems filed under the county.

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. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 701 Oklahoma systems (56%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Pond Creek?
EPA lists Pond Creek 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. 10 of the 10 active systems in Grant County (100%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Pond Creek have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2003 and January 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 1 required treatment not met, 1 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (2 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 5 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.
