Sapulpa Water Company

Municipal water sources include rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels across land or underground, it naturally dissolves minerals and sometimes radioactive materials, while also potentially collecting substances from animal or human activities. All water, including bottled varieties, typically contains at least minimal contaminants. Their presence doesn't necessarily indicate a health hazard.

For more detailed information about contaminants and potential health effects, contact the EPA's Safe Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). The EPA establishes regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water systems, while FDA regulations set similar standards for bottled water safety.

Certain populations may have heightened vulnerability to water contaminants. These include immunocompromised individuals such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune disorders, some elderly individuals, and infants. These groups should consult healthcare providers regarding their water consumption.

Guidelines for reducing infection risks from Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Elevated lead levels can pose serious health concerns, particularly for pregnant women and young children. Lead in tap water primarily comes from service lines and household plumbing materials.

While water suppliers cannot control plumbing component materials, you can minimize lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for consumption after periods of non-use. If concerned about lead, consider water testing. Additional information about lead in water is available via the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

1. Where does Sapulpa water come from?
   Sapulpa supplies surface water to Sapulpa, Oklahoma.
2. Does Sapulpa test its tap water?
   Yes. Like every public water system, Sapulpa must test its water under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and publish an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). Ask the utility for the latest report or look for it on its website.
3. How do I contact Sapulpa?
   Call 918-248-5928 or visit 424 E Hobson Ave, Sapulpa, OK 74066, or use the contact options on the utility’s website.
4. Does Sapulpa water contain lead?
   Water usually leaves the treatment plant without lead. Lead can enter tap water from older service lines, solder and brass fixtures inside homes, especially when water sits in the pipes. Run the tap before drinking if water has been sitting, and ask the utility about lead testing and service line records.
5. Is Sapulpa water hard?
   Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
