The primary function of WQD is to maintain clean water for Oklahoma by regulating facilities that produce and distribute public drinking water and that treat, transport, store, and discharge wastewater.
WQD is also responsible — in cooperation with other state agencies — for maintaining water quality standards in Oklahoma’s lakes, rivers, and streams.
