- [Narrator] What do wildlife,
sediment, water pollution

00:03.340 --> 00:05.120
and droughts have in common?

00:05.120 --> 00:08.500
They all impact the quality of our water.

00:08.500 --> 00:11.630
But Altus Air Force Base
combats these variables.

00:11.630 --> 00:12.770
- Well, over the last several years,

00:12.770 --> 00:15.070
there's been a lot of work
by a lot of different teams

00:15.070 --> 00:16.650
to make sure that the water quality

00:16.650 --> 00:19.120
in the city of Altus and on the base

00:19.120 --> 00:20.730
are exactly what they need to be.

00:20.730 --> 00:23.070
- [Narrator] All that works has paid off.

00:23.070 --> 00:25.730
- Currently our water is
perfectly safe to drink,

00:25.730 --> 00:28.210
coming from the guy
who takes the readings,

00:28.210 --> 00:30.360
and follows the science,
I drink the water,

00:30.360 --> 00:32.820
my technicians drink the water,
my children drink the water.

00:32.820 --> 00:34.980
So feel safe in drinking the water

00:34.980 --> 00:36.830
both on Altus Air Force Base,

00:36.830 --> 00:38.965
and in the city of Altus.

00:38.965 --> 00:41.632
