The City of Duncan Water Treatment Plant and Distribution System is performing the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality’s (ODEQ) required annual system cleaning of the water transmission and distribution lines beginning Friday, October 11th, 2024.
This safety measure, which cleans nitrates from the system every year, will be done throughout the entire water distribution system over the next month. Testing, which is routinely done every day to monitor water quality, ensures the ODEQ standards of quality control are met.
Please be aware that there may be times of low pressure and community members may notice a chlorine taste and odor to the water while this maintenance is performed. If you get an odor or unusual taste in the water, it does not mean it is unsafe to drink. Please run the cold water for several minutes prior to use.
This maintenance means that the water delivered to your home remains safe and your patience is appreciated as the City of Duncan fulfills this ODEQ maintenance requirement and continues efforts to provide quality water to Duncan citizens.
