WESTERN CARTER CO WATER CORP

WESTERN CARTER CO WATER CORP (PWSID OK2001003) 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 2,000 people in Ratliff City, OK, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the Oklahoma drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 78 total violations, with 78 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 4 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM), Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), Total Coliform. Recorded violations span 1981–2024.

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.
