The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has announced that the boil order for Hominy Public Water Supply, located in Osage County, has been lifted. The water is now safe for human consumption.
The order to boil water was issued due to high finished water turbidity. State and federal regulations require that customers be notified if, at any time, public drinking water is determined to be unsafe.
The following water systems purchase water from Hominy Public Water Supply and have also had the boil order lifted:
- Osage Nation Industrial Park
- Dick Conner Correctional Center
DEQ is responsible for regulating more than 1,250 public water supplies in the State of Oklahoma. All public water supplies are required to regularly submit samples to DEQ for routine testing to ensure that water is safe for human consumption.
