OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY: Boil Order Issued for Apex Fitness Water System

Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality issued the following announcement on May 30.

The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has advised the Apex Fitness water system, located in Tuttle, 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 E.coli in the drinking water. This boil order applies only to Apex Fitness and DOES NOT impact any other public water supplies.

Users 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
