The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality has advised the Town of
Jones City Public Water Supply, a community water supply located in Oklahoma
County, to inform users of its drinking water to use water that has been brought to a full,
rolling boil for at least one minute, bottled water, or water from another acceptable
source for consumption, use in food
preparation, dishwashing and brushing teeth. This
order was issued due to the presence of
E. coli
.
Consumers of the water system will be notified when the water is considered safe for
human consumption. Federal law requires that consumers be notified when a public
water supply exceeds certain maximum contaminant levels and might be harmful to the
health of consumers.
