How does Tryon compare with other water systems in Lincoln County?
By EPA's size categories, Tryon is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lincoln County has 22 active public water systems. Its population served is about 44% below the county average of 800 people per system, and accounts for 2.5% of the 17,590 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Oklahoma, the 1,254 active systems average 2,907 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Tryon is well below that figure.
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 Tryon?
EPA lists Tryon 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. 16 of the 22 active systems in Lincoln County (73%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Tryon have drinking water violations?

By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Chlorine (5 of them).
