Water Quality in Piedmont, OK- Is Piedmont Water Safe to Drink?

In 2024, Piedmont Municipal Authority did not meet water monitoring requirements and it had several water quality violations per its water quality report including testing for; radon, glyphosate, simazine, chlorine, coliform, disinfectant by product, and E. coli among others. The rapid expansion of the city has led to stress on its current infrastructure which it is taking measures to improve. Generally speaking yes, Piedmont water is safe to drink, however there are many contaminants that could lead to suboptimal outcomes for your health and home over time. Many homeowners notice hard water deposits, chlorine taste or smell, cloudy water, salty, or oily water – but other contaminants may go unnoticed.

Where Does Piedmont, OK Get Its Water?

Piedmont’s municipal water is sourced from ground water wells which collect water from the Garber- Wellington Aquifer. Piedmont also purchases water from Oklahoma City. Many residents in Piedmont are on private water wells. Private water wells are not regulated by the EPA and are the responsibility of the homeowner to test and treat for contaminants.

Does the Piedmont Area Have Hard Water?

The water in Piedmont is moderately to very hard depending on the source. Purchased water from Lake Arcadia can be as low as 4 grains hard whereas well water can range from 18-100 grains hard.

Why Do Piedmont
Homeowners LOVE Us?

“I’m definitely a Culligan fan!

We recently went on well water and even though it’s good water, it’s very hard. The Culligan salesman was easy to work with and the techs were very fast and efficient at installing / setting up the softener.

“Call for your free water testing and you won’t be disappointed!!! Thanks Culligan.

These guys saved the day for us. Our hard water was so bad it was destroying all of our faucets and appliances. They were fast, friendly, and extremely professional.

“ Since having the softener our dishes come out sparkling!

We have had Mollman’s residential water softener service for over two years, and it’s great. We have well water, and before having the softener our dishes came out of the dishwasher looking terrible, with deposits all over them. You could also tell there was long term build-up in many of the faucets, some which we had to replace. Since having the softener our dishes come out sparkling and we don’t see residue on any appliances or faucets. We haven’t had any issues with the service, and the company is prompt to answer any questions.
