The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has advised Otoe- Missouria Tribe Public Water Supply, located in Noble County, to inform its residents and users of its drinking water to use water that has been brought to a full, rolling boil for at least one minute, bottled water, or water from another acceptable source for consumption, use in food preparation, dishwashing and brushing teeth. This order was issued due to high levels of turbidity.

The following water system purchases water from Otoe-Missouria Tribe and is therefore included in the Boil Order:

• Frontier Public Schools

Residents will be notified when the water is considered safe for human consumption. Federal law requires that consumers be notified when a public water supply exceeds certain maximum contaminant levels and might be harmful to the health of consumers.
