Where the water comes from
Soper draws water from 2 wells. It also has an emergency connection to Pushmataha Co. RWD #3.
Emergency or part-time connections to
- Pushmataha Co. RWD #3 Antlers, OK
Annual water quality report
Soper 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 Soper 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.
