What the violations mean
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
41 incidentsDisinfection byproduct levels exceeded the federal limit
Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk
CARBON, TOTAL
28 incidentsThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that federal rules require for CARBON, TOTAL (a treatment technique violation).
The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.
Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
22 incidentsHaloacetic acid byproducts exceeded the federal limit
Long-term exposure to HAAs may increase cancer risk
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
2 incidentsThe system did not meet a filtration or treatment requirement for surface water
Inadequate treatment of surface water can let pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia through
Where the water comes from
Fairfax draws water from 1 well and 1 surface water intake (1 of them for emergency, seasonal or other part-time use). 1 other community water system buys water from Fairfax.
Community systems that buy water from it
- Grayhorse RWD Fairfax, OK
Annual water quality report
Fairfax must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Where the state allows it, systems serving fewer than 10,000 people may publish the report in a local newspaper or news site instead of mailing it, and must provide a copy on request.
Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search
Testing your own water
To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Oklahoma.
