In operating the plant, we conduct numerous tests on the water we produce, both for control of the plant and for reporting to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality . We run a series of tests every two hours, including alkalinity, pH, hardness, fluoride residual, chlorine residual, and turbidity on the incoming water, the finished water, and at several steps throughout the treatment process. We perform other tests twice per day, such as chlorides, water temperature, and stability. Some tests are performed only once per month, such as chromium, detergents, iron, manganese, phenols, selenium and sulfate. We take samples from the distribution system to analyze the water actually delivered to the customer.
Daily tests are for fluoride and chlorine residuals.
We test 80 samples per week for bacteria. In addition to the tests we perform, the Oklahoma State Department of Environmental Quality tests samples on a regular basis for other parameters we cannot test here. We go to every effort to ensure that the water we produce is as safe and pleasant as we can make it. In order to view this report you will need Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer.
