Short answer: In the 2022–2024 records we hold for Duncan, no listed result is above a legal limit, but 9 health-based violations are on record (EPA SDWIS). Also worth knowing: lithium sits above a screening level. 5 substances were detected and 26 were tested and not detected. The water is from Duncan Public Utilities Authority, serving 23,000 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.

DUNCAN PUBLIC UTILITIES AUTHORITY (EPA PWSID OK1010809) delivers surface water to 23,000 residents. This report reflects 29 individual PFAS result(s) from the source UCMR5 observations and the latest Lead & Copper Rule 90th-percentile result. Water hardness and disinfectant type are pending the utility's own annual report.
9health-based violations in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score. All 36 EPA filings are listed below.
No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.
Every filing is listed; the Track record score counts at most one per contaminant per year.

The record describes water leaving treatment and samples across the system. Pipes, solder and fixtures inside a building can add lead the record can’t see, especially in older buildings with lead service lines.

Lab-certified results
ETR Laboratories
50+ substances, including lead, copper, arsenic, nitrate, hardness and coliform bacteria
What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.
Screening: quick check, not lab-grade
Silver Lake Research
Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH
What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.

Older buildings may have lead service lines, solder or fixtures. Duncan’s utility reported 10,938 service lines of unknown material in EPA’s inventory, so only a tap test tells you. Test first-draw water, then filter if needed.
4 of 29 PFAS tested were detected in Duncan’s record (PFHxA 3.3 ng/L, PFBA 7.5 ng/L and PFHpA 3.4 ng/L, and more). If PFAS matters to you, a filter certification names each compound it covers.
Most utilities keep chlorine or chloramine in the pipes. A carbon filter certified for taste and odor reduces either; your utility can tell you which it uses.
Your utility’s annual water quality report usually lists hardness; a test strip also measures it.
Reverse osmosis reduces many dissolved contaminants, including lead and minerals, at a single faucet, with some water sent to drain.

One email when a new sampling round is published, a result moves above or below its reference, or the system's score changes.PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Duncan, PFAS were detected below their limits, and PFBA 7.5 ng/L, PFHpA 3.4 ng/L and PFPeA 3.8 ng/L with no federal or state limit. DUNCAN PUBLIC UTILITIES AUTHORITY (PWSID OK1010809) has a Purity Score of 88/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured.

Methodology: how we analyze water. Prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by the PurityMap Editorial Team before publication.
EPA SDWIS, EPA UCMR 5 and utility reports, each dated and linked.
Units converted to one basis; a non-detect kept distinct from zero.
Each result tagged by reference type: MCL, action level, screening level or aesthetic.
Every value sits against its own reference, never a blended one.
Measured subjects summarised at the water-system level; an open health-based violation caps the score.
Treatment is matched to what was found; a product is called certified only when its current certification names it.
What the Purity Score means: a summary of this water system’s published record, capped while a health-based violation is open. It is not a test of any tap. DUNCAN PUBLIC UTILITIES AUTHORITY · PWSID OK1010809 · Purity Score 88/100 (Good) · Confidence: moderate · Assessed at the water-system level

Lead at Duncan Public Utilities Authority: not detected (90th percentile, 2022–2024 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
