The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has announced that the boil order for Rogers Co. RWD #3 COT STA (OK3006650), located in Rogers County, has been lifted. The water is now safe for human consumption.

The order to boil water was issued due to E. coli in the water. State and federal regulations require that customers be notified if, at any time, public drinking water is determined to be unsafe.

The following water system purchases water from Rogers Co. RWD #3 COT STA, and therefore was also under the boil order:

• Rogers Co. RWD #12

DEQ is responsible for regulating more than 1,250 public water supplies in the State of Oklahoma. All public water supplies are required to regularly submit samples to DEQ for routine testing to ensure that water is safe for human consumption.
