Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule

Monitoring and Reporting

EPA rule code 220 · 2 violations recorded, 2 still open

Monitoring and Reporting: 2 violations, open since Jan 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

Contaminants on the record: Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), TTHM (Total Trihalomethanes).

Also violated in the past three years

Jul to Sep 2023 to Jul to Sep 2026

Nitrate Rule

Maximum Contaminant Level Violation Health-based

9 violations, Jul 2023 to Sep 2025 · Nitrate-Nitrite (Combined)
EPA rule code 331 · 9 violations recorded, 9 health-based

Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, health-based: 9 violations, Jul 2023 to Sep 2025. A sample exceeded the maximum contaminant level EPA allows in drinking water.

Contaminant on the record: Nitrate-Nitrite (Combined).

Nitrate-Nitrite (Combined), health effects: The combined limit protects against methemoglobinemia — the same risk as nitrate alone and nitrite alone. In infants under 6 months, gut bacteria convert these nitrogen compounds to forms that block oxygen transport in blood ('blue baby syndrome'). Pregnant women and individuals with certain enzyme deficiencies are also at elevated risk. Limit: 10 mg/L as nitrogen (NO₂-N + NO₃-N combined)

About this data

Rules violated and the list above come from EPA's SDWIS violation records, one row per violation and contaminant, grouped by the rule each row belongs to. A violation counts when its non-compliance period ended on or after Jul 1, 2023, the start of the thirteen quarters ECHO's three-year figures cover, or is still open; it is unresolved when it was still open at EPA's data refresh on Oct 7, 2026. EPA's rule code 500, "Not Regulated", is left out, as in ECHO's counts. Each rule's violation count is EPA's, and one rule can carry several: a missed monitoring round for a group of contaminants is one violation per contaminant and period. Category names are EPA's violation categories.

ECHO's own summary count of rules violated agrees with this grouping for 98.8% of active systems nationally, and its count of rules being violated for 98.7%; where they differ, the figures here follow the rows listed.

Measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.

The Oklahoma records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
