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 Quinton?

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. 20 of the 22 active systems in Pittsburg County (91%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Quinton have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between June 2025 and January 2026. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 4 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived, 4 as resolved and 2 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
