The Proof
Why Do Durant, OK
Homeowners LOVE Us?
Our water was not terrible, but we still noticed taste differences and wanted to know more about what was coming through the tap. After testing, it made sense to improve the water we use every day. The system has made a noticeable difference in taste and overall confidence.
We had questions about disinfectants, byproducts, and trace contaminants in our local water. Getting a better look at the results helped us understand why treatment was worth it. The water tastes cleaner now, and we feel better using it for drinking and cooking.
We wanted cleaner water for everyday use and an extra layer of protection at the tap. After learning more about the local water quality, adding treatment felt like the right move. It has made the water feel much more reliable throughout the house.
Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Durant, OK
Is Durant tap water safe to drink?
Durant’s tap water is treated to meet drinking water requirements, but trace contaminants and treatment-related byproducts can still be present. That is one reason many homeowners choose water filtration for better taste, added confidence, and extra protection at the tap.
Where does Durant get its water?
Durant’s drinking water comes from surface water sources, including the Blue River and Lake Durant. Surface water sources can be more affected by seasonal changes, organic material, and runoff, which is why treatment and monitoring are so important.
Does Durant water contain disinfection byproducts?
Yes. Testing reported:
- Haloacetic Acids (HAA5): 53 ppb
- Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs): 71 ppb
These are byproducts of drinking water disinfection. Both were reported below the maximum contaminant levels, but many homeowners still choose filtration to reduce them and improve water quality.
Does Durant use chlorine or chloramines?
Yes. The system reported disinfectant monitoring with a maximum period average of 2 mg/L and a running annual average of 1 mg/L. Disinfectants help control microbes, but they can also affect taste and contribute to byproduct formation.
Were any microbiological issues reported in Durant water?
Yes. The report noted that in July, 1 coliform sample returned as positive. Coliform bacteria are commonly used as an indicator that contamination may be able to enter the distribution system. Even when follow-up treatment and monitoring keep the system compliant, many homeowners still prefer filtration for extra peace of mind.
What contaminants were found in Durant water?
Testing detected several regulated and monitored contaminants, including:
- Barium: 0.0425 ppm
- Dalapon: 2.18 ppb
- Fluoride: 0.53 ppm
- Nickel: 0.00276 mg/L
- Nitrate-Nitrite: 0.418 ppm
- Selenium: 0.719 ppb
- Combined uranium: 0.00464 µg/L
- Gross beta particle activity: 1.24 pCi/L
These levels were reported below applicable limits, but many homeowners still want to reduce trace contaminants wherever possible.
Is lead or copper a concern in Durant water?
Lead was reported at 0.787 ppb, and copper was reported at 0.0367 ppm. Both were below their respective action levels. Even with compliant results, many homeowners still turn to water filtration for extra safety, especially for drinking and cooking water.
Does Durant water contain PFAS or forever chemicals?
There were no PFAS detections listed in the water quality data. Even when PFAS are not reported, many homeowners still choose advanced filtration for extra peace of mind because water quality priorities and testing requirements can continue to change.
Does Durant have issues with organic material in the water?
The report’s total organic carbon removal data showed a lowest monthly removal ratio of 1.00, which met the required removal ratio of 1. This does not eliminate the presence of all disinfection byproducts or taste concerns once the water reaches the tap.
Should I use a water filter in Durant?
Many homeowners in Durant can benefit from a water filter. Even when water meets standards, filtration can help reduce disinfectant taste, disinfection byproducts, and trace contaminants while improving confidence in the water used for drinking and cooking.
