HAILEYVILLE (HAILEYVILLE, OK), which serves about 889 people, has recorded 4 health-based drinking-water contaminants in EPA violation records since 2016, most notably Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM), Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), Copper. A certified water filter can reduce these at the tap — see the certified options for each below.
What the testing found
Measured levels from EPA violation records, compared to the federal limit (MCL). The black line marks the legal limit.
Total Trihalomethanes
1.3× the federal limitChlorination byproduct; MCL 80 ug/L. Long-term bladder cancer and reproductive risk. Higher in surface-water systems.
Haloacetic Acids
1× the federal limitChlorination byproduct; MCL 60 ug/L. Cancer and developmental concern.
Lead
Within federal limitNo safe level. Damages developing brain/nervous system in children; linked to lower IQ, kidney and cardiovascular harm in adults. Usually enters water from corroding pipes/solder, not the source.
Also on record
Copper
1 violationRecorded as a federal action-level / treatment violation (1 since 2016). Measured 90th-percentile levels are reported separately under the Lead & Copper Rule.
Short-term: nausea/vomiting/cramps; long-term: liver/kidney damage. Leaches from copper plumbing, worse with corrosive water.
Filters certified to clean up your water
Your water shows Total Trihalomethanes, Copper, Lead. A reverse osmosis system handles the most of this in one unit — these three are independently certified for the most of your contaminants (not marketing claims):
Haloacetic acids (HAA5) are reduced by the same activated-carbon filtration that handles trihalomethanes, so a carbon-based pick above covers them together.

Sources & method. Contaminant levels and violations come from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System (health-based violations, 2016–present); PFAS from EPA UCMR5 monitoring (2023–2025). Levels shown are the highest recorded value in the violation records; a violation means the contaminant exceeded its federal limit at the system level. Your home's water can differ from the system average. Public domain data; we are not affiliated with the EPA.
