WAURIKA PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY

WAURIKA PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY (PWSID OK1011201) is a cws water system drawing from a surface water source, regulated by the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. It serves approximately 2,100 people in Waurika, OK, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the Oklahoma drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 275 total violations, with 275 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 5 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM), Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), Turbidity. Recorded violations span 1985–2025.

A historical violation does not necessarily describe current water quality, systems must notify customers and remediate, and monitoring-type violations often reflect reporting lapses rather than contamination. The most authoritative real-time source is the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
