Never

Explanation:

The OH⁻ ion in a sample of water comes from the process of autoionization of water. That is, water reacts with itself to give the hydronium ion (H₃O+) and hydroxide ion (OH⁻). The reaction for this process is H₂O + H₂O ⇄ H³O⁺ + OH⁻. As long as there are at least two molecules of water, the process will occur giving hydroxide ions.
