BOIL ORDER UPDATE
Tuesday Afternoon - 07/07/2026
BOIL ORDER SUSPENDED

Great news, Tonkawa!

The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) has officially suspended the Mandatory Boil Order for the City of Tonkawa Water System after determining that the required corrective actions have been completed and water quality requirements have been met.

What does this mean?

You may resume using your tap water for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing your teeth, and all other normal household and business uses.

Before returning to normal use, ODEQ recommends that residents and businesses:

Run cold water from each faucet for several minutes to flush household plumbing.

Discard any ice made during the boil order and make a fresh batch.

If you have a refrigerator water dispenser or filtration system, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for flushing or replacing filters if applicable.

The City would like to sincerely thank our residents, businesses, and visitors for your patience, understanding, and support throughout this process.

We also want to recognize our Water Department, Public Works, Police Department, Fire Department, administrative staff, volunteers, and community partners who worked tirelessly over the past week to respond to this event and restore safe drinking water to our community.

Thank you for standing with us. We know this has been a difficult and inconvenient week, but we're grateful for the way our community came together.
