What the EPA has on record, by system
Lawton Water Supply
988 served · groundwater · PWSID IA9743065 - Monitoring Revised Total Coliform Rule: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 7 times between November 2021 and June 2023. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
- Monitoring Gross Alpha, Excl. Radon and U: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 2 times in October 2014. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
What this means
A health-based violation means a contaminant was recorded above the limit the EPA tracks for it. A monitoring or reporting violation means a required test or report was late or missed — not that a contaminant was measured above a limit. “Returned to compliance” means the EPA recorded the issue as resolved.
