Why WaterQuality Assured Certification Adds Value to Your Oklahoma Property
For Oklahoma homeowners, real estate agents, and municipalities, a water well is more than just a source of water—it’s a valuable asset that impacts property worth, safety, and peace of mind. However, ensuring a well is safe and compliant with state regulations can be challenging, especially in Oklahoma’s unique environment with risks like nitrate contamination and seismic activity. At WaterWellSafety.com, our WaterQuality Assured Program offers a rigorous certification process that guarantees your well meets elite safety and regulatory standards. In this post, we’ll explore how this certification adds value to your property, protects public health, and builds trust, with real-world examples from our Oklahoma clients.
What Is the WaterQuality Assured Program?
The WaterQuality Assured Program is our flagship certification, designed to ensure Oklahoma water wells meet or exceed OWRB, DEQ, and NGWA standards. The process includes:
Comprehensive Hazard Analysis: Identifies risks like cracked-casings or contamination sources.
Professional Water Testing: Checks for contaminants such as nitrates, bacteria, or oilfield chemicals.
Compliance Verification: Confirms adherence to state regulations, including proper setbacks and construction.
Certification Seal: Awards a navy blue and gold WaterQuality Assured seal, a visible mark of trust and quality.
Once certified, your well is recognized as safe, compliant, and reliable, providing benefits for property sales, public health, and long-term value.
How Certification Adds Value
1. Boosts Property Value for Homeowners
A certified well signals to buyers that your property has a reliable, safe water source, increasing its marketability. In Oklahoma, where private wells serve over 15% of households (per OWRB data), a certified well can raise property value by 5–10%, especially in rural areas like those near the Ogallala Aquifer. Certification also reduces buyer concerns about costly repairs (e.g., $5,000–$10,000 for redrilling) or health risks from contamination.
Testimonial:
“Before selling our Norman home, we certified our well with WaterWellSafety.com’s WaterQuality Assured Program. The certification seal helped us close the sale 20% above asking price, as buyers felt confident in the well’s safety.”
— Emily R., Homeowner
Action: Apply for WaterQuality Assured certification to enhance your property’s appeal.
2. Provides a Competitive Edge for Real Estate Agents
Real estate agents in Oklahoma can use certified wells as a selling point to attract buyers and close deals faster. A WaterQuality Assured seal demonstrates due diligence, reducing the need for costly pre-sale inspections or water quality tests. It also assures buyers that the well complies with OWRB and DEQ regulations, avoiding potential fines (e.g., $2,000 for non-compliant wells).
Testimonial:
“As a realtor in Tulsa, I recommend WaterWellSafety.com’s certification to all my clients with wells. It simplifies the sale process and gives buyers peace of mind, helping me close deals quicker.”
— David L., Real Estate Agent

3. Ensures Public Health for Municipalities
For municipalities managing public wells, certification guarantees safe drinking water and compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act. In Oklahoma, where seismic activity or oilfield operations can contaminate wells, certification protects communities from health risks like nitrate poisoning or bacterial infections. It also builds public trust and simplifies regulatory reporting to the DEQ.
Testimonial:
“Our small town in the Garber-Wellington Aquifer region certified its public wells with WaterWellSafety.com. The WaterQuality Assured seal reassured residents and saved us from a $3,000 DEQ fine.”
— Karen M., Municipal Manager

4. Reduces Liability and Long-Term Costs
A certified well minimizes liability by ensuring compliance with OWRB and DEQ standards, protecting you from fines or legal issues during property transfers. It also prevents costly repairs by addressing risks early—such as cracked casings from Oklahoma’s seismic activity or bacterial contamination from flooding. Our WellCare Plans complement certification with ongoing maintenance to keep your well in top condition.
Action: Enroll in a WellCare Plan to maintain your certification and avoid unexpected expenses.
