CARBON, TOTAL

9 incidents

The system did not complete a treatment step or action that federal rules require for CARBON, TOTAL (a treatment technique violation).

Where the water comes from

Delaware draws water from 1 surface water intake.

Annual water quality report

Delaware 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.

Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask Delaware for a copy.

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.
