Residents on city water received a letter with their utility bill stating that Choctaw's water system violated drinking water requirements. This letter, written by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) listed contaminant sample types and monitoring dates, but did not include any water quality values. There were no quality values because there is no issue with the quality of our water. The violation is due to water samples arriving three days late. The city takes full responsibility for not having the samples submitted by the deadline, we are implementing best practices to meet DEQ deadlines going forward. Please rest assured that Choctaw's water is safe.
