Public Water Supply ID: LA1073047
We are pleased to present to you the Annual Water Quality Report for the year 2006.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of your water and services we deliver to you every day (Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre su agua potable. Traduzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien). Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water source(s) are listed below:
SourceName/Source Location/Source Type/Source ID
Well #1/Sparta Aquifer/Groundwater/1073047-001
Well #2/Sparta Aquifer/Groundwater/1073047-002

Well #7/----/Groundwater/1073047-007
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
— Microbial Contaminants - such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
— Inorganic Contaminants - such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
— Pesticides and Herbicides - which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
— Organic Chemical Contaminants — including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
— Radioactive Contaminants — which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
A Source Water Assessment Plan (SWAP) is now available from our office. This plan is an assessment of a delineated area around our listed sources through which contaminants, if present, could migrate and reach our source water. It also includes an inventory of potential sources of contamination within the delineated area, and a determination of the water supply's susceptibility to contamination by the identified potential sources. According to the Source Water Assessment Plan, our water system had a susceptibility rating of 'medium'. If you would like to review the Source Water Assessment Plan, please feel free to contact our office at the number provided in the following paragraph.
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals - Office of Public Health routinely monitors for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The tables that follow show the results of our monitoring during the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2006. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.
In the tables below, you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms, we've provided the following definitions:
— Non-Detects (ND) — laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.
— Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/L) — one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.
— Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ug/L) — one part per billion corresponds to oneminute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
— Parts per trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (ng/L) — one part per trillion corresponds to oneminute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000,000.
— Parts per quadrillion (ppq) or Picograms per liter (pg/L) — one part per quadrillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000,000,000.
— Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) — picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.
— Millirems per year (mrem/yr) — measure of radiation absorbed by the body.
— Million fibers per liter (MFL) — million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers.
— Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) — nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.
— Variances & Exemptions (V&E) — State or EPA permission not to meet MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions.
— Action level (AL) — the concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
— Treatment technique (TT) — a treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
— Maximum contaminant level (MCL) — the "Maximum Allowed" MCL is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL's are set as close to the MCLG's as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
— Maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) — the "Goal" is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to human health. MCLG's allow for a margin of safety.
— Maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) — The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
— Maximum residual disinfectant level goal (MRDLG) — The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
During the period covered by this report we had the below noted violations of drinking water regulations.
Violation Number — 2006 80080; Violation Date — 3/31/2006; Violation Name — MCL, AVERAGE, WITHOUT NO. EXCEEDANCE; Category— MCL; Analyte Name — TOTAL TRIHALOMETHANES (TTHM); Analyte Code — 2950

Our water system tested a minimum of 10 monthly sample(s) in accordance with the Total Coliform Rule for microbiological contaminants. During the monitoring period covered by this report, we had the following noted detections for microbiological contaminants:
Contaminant — Total Coliform Bacteria; Title — Month with greatest number of positive samples; Month — Sep; Samples —1; MCLG —0; MCL: For systems that collect more than 39 samples per month; if 5 percent are positive for Coliform. For systems that collect less than 40 samples per month, if 1 sample is positive for coliform. Major source: Naturally present in the environment.
In the table below, we have shown the regulated contaminants that were detected at levels BELOW their maximum contaminant level. These samples, except for Lead and Copper results and surface water systems, were collected at the raw water source and represent water before any treatment, blending or distribution. As such, the consumer tap levels could be less. The last chemical sampling of our source water was collected on Monday, December 18, 2006. Chemical Sampling of our drinking water may not be required on an annual basis, therefore, information provided in this table refers back to the latest year of chemical sampling results.
Contaminant— Copper, Major sources: Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits; Leaching from wood preservatives; Date — 8/10/2004; Level— 0.60; MCL — AL=1.3; MCLG — 1.3; Unit — ppm.

Contaminant — Lead, Major sources: Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits; Date — 8/10/2004; Level— 12.00; MCL — AL=15; MCLG — 0; Unit — ppb.
Contaminant — Haloacetic Acids (HAA), Major sources: By-product of drinking water disinfection; Date — Annual Average; Level— 16.3333; MCL — 60; MCLG ---; Unit — ppb.
Contaminant — TTHMs (Total trihalomethanes), Major sources: By-product of drinking water chlorination; Date — Annual Average; Level— 61.1456; MCL — 80; MCLG ---; Unit — ppb.
There Were No Positive Nitrate Samples During the Monitoring Period of January 1st to December 31st, 2006.
******Environmental Protection Agency Required Health?Effects Language ******
Infants and children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home`s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home`s water, you may wish to have your water tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional information is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4761).
Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes 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.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk for infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
