How does Three Springs Farm compare with other water systems in Cherokee County?
By EPA's size categories, Three Springs Farm is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Cherokee County has 36 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 972 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 34,993 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 Three Springs Farm is well below 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. 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 Three Springs Farm?
EPA lists Three Springs Farm as privately owned. 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. 21 of the 36 active systems in Cherokee County (58%) are also privately owned.
Does Three Springs Farm have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2017 and January 2025. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit and 5 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Fluoride (10 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 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.
