DEQ stated that the boil order was issued due to the presence of E. coli in water samples. DEQ continuously monitors water systems to verify safety. Water samples were tested following the issuance of the boil order until the water proved safe for consumption again.
Rogers County Rural Water District #12 purchases water from RWD #3 and was also under the order. The order is now lifted for RWD #12, as well.
