On behalf of the Ouachita Parish School Board, the Superintendent presented a plaque to Glenwood Wellness Center representatives and trainers Kirk Frantom, Brad Hill, Paul Vaughn and Janson May in appreciation for services rendered to our students and staff from Glenwood Medical Center.

Pine Bayou Water System
The Pine Bayou Water System is currently in violation of the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) as set forth by the State ( part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code) and the Federal Primary Drinking Water Regulations (40 CFR Part 141).
The United States environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (LDHH) sets drinking water standards and requires the disinfection of drinking water. Where disinfection is used in the treatment of drinking water, disinfectants combine with naturally occurring organic and inorganic matter present in water to form chemicals called disinfection byproducts (DBPs). EPA and LDHH set standards for controlling the levels of disinfectants and DBPs in drinking water, including trihalomethanes (THMs). Some people who drink water containing THMs in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
In December 1998, EPA set enforceable drinking water standard for TTHMs at 80 parts per billion (ppb) to reduce the risk of cancer or other adverse health effects. Compliance with the TTHMs standard for public water systems serving less than 10,000 individuals initially became effective and enforceable on January 1, 2004. Compliance with the TTHMs standard is determined by calculating a running annual average (RAA) of quarterly TTHMs sample results. Compliance calculations preformed during the first calendar quarter of 2006 show that the system's current TTHMs RAA is 88 ppb. Compliance calculations performed during the second calendar quarter of 2006 show that the system's current TTHMs RAA is 81 ppb; thus, the system is currently in violation of the TTHMs standards.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. EPA and LDHH do not consider this violation to have any serious adverse health effects on human health as a result of short-term exposure; however, continued long term exposure to TTHMs levels above the standard (e.g., 20 years of exposure had the potential to have serious adverse effects on human health.
Part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code further requires that the notice include the telephone number (318-397-2835) of the owner J. Jeffery Pruett, operator, or designee of the public water system as a source of additional information concerning the notice.
