The Water We Drink
SOUTHWEST OUACHITA WW
Public Water Supply ID: LA1073047
We are pleased to present to you the Annual Water Quality Report for the year 2007. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of your water and services we deliver to you every day (Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable. Tradúzcalo 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:
Source Name; Source Water Type; Source Water Body Name
WELL #1; Ground Water
WELL #2; Ground Water
WELL #3; Ground Water
WELL #4; Ground Water
WELL #5; Ground Water
WELL #6; Ground Water
WELL #7; Ground Water
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 'high'. 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.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. We are pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets Federal and State requirements. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you have any questions about this report, want to attend any scheduled meetings, or simply want to learn more about your drinking water, please contact TOMMY JOE CARTER at 318-325-3371.
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, 2007. 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 one minute 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 one minute 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 below noted violations of drinking water regulations.
Type; Category; Analyte; Compliance Period
No Violations Occurred in the Calendar Year of 2007
Our water system tested a minimum of 9 samples per month 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:
Microbiological; Result; MCL; MCLG; Typical Source
COLIFORM (TCR); In the month of May, 1 sample(s) returned as positive; MCL: Systems that Collect Less Than 40 Samples per Month - No more than 1 positive monthly sample; 0; Naturally present in the environment
In the tables 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. 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.
Regulated Contaminants; Collection Date; Highest Value; Range; Unit; MCL; MCLG; Typical Source
BARIUM; 10/2/2007; 0.0095; 0.0091 - 0.0095; ppm; 2; 2; Discharge of drilling wastes; Discharge from metal refineries; Erosion of natural deposits

++++++Environmental Protection Agency Required Health Effects Language++++++
Additional Required Health Effects Language:
Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.
Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches.
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).
There are no additional required health effects violation notices.

Thank you for allowing us to continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers.
Please call our office if you have questions.
We at the SOUTHWEST OUACHITA WW work around the clock to provide top quality drinking water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect and conserve our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life, and our children's future.

SECTION 1.
It shall be unlawful and constitute a misdemeanor for any person or business owning, occupying, leasing or using any lot, place or area in the Town of Sterlington to allow weeds, grass, vines or plants to grow to a height of twenty-four (24) inches, measured from the ground to the top of the plant; or in such a manner as to:
(1) Block the vision of pedestrians or motor vehicles near such area; or
(2) Constitute a health or fire hazard; or
(3) Become a breeding place for insects or hiding place for animals; or
(4) Become publicly obnoxious and unsightly.
SECTION 2. For a first offense violation of this ordinance the owner or occupant of the offending premises will be notified by registered mail at his last known address or by notice posted in a conspicuous place upon the premises in question that the condition of the grounds must be corrected to comply with this ordinance within ten (10) days from the date of posting the notice. For a second or subsequent offense on the same property, it shall not be necessary for the notice provided for in this paragraph to be issued and the enforcing authority shall be entitled to directly issue a citation to the owner or occupant of the property and proceed as outlined hereafter.
SECTION 3. In the event such owner or occupant (either or both) do not cut and remove the said weeds, grass, vines or plant growth within the time stated in the said notice, the Town shall issue a citation charging the owner or occupant with violation of this ordinance and serve it upon the owner or occupant to be prosecuted.
SECTION 4. In the event the owner or occupant does not cut and clear the property within ten (10) days of the notice provided in Section 2, and regardless whether a citation has been served as provided in Section 3, the Town may at its option cut the grass, weeds, vines or growth itself or employ someone to do it.
SECTION 5. After such cutting, the owner shall be mailed a bill for all costs of the work and equipment used in the cutting and cleaning and upon failure to pay such charges within fifteen (15) days of its posting, the Town may file in the office of the Recorder of Mortgages of the Parish of Ouachita a lien sworn to by the Mayor or Chief of Police reciting the description of the property, the work performed and its cost which lien shall constitute a privilege and charge in favor of the city on such property for a period of five years from the date of its filing. Such lien may be reinscribed thereafter for additional five year periods if its remains due and unpaid.
SECTION 6. Any and all charges, expenses or costs incurred by the city in connection with the cutting of the grass, weeds of other growth or the removal of the same from the property pursuant to this ordinance shall draw interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date the property was cut and was cleared by the City. Town shall impose an additional charge for filing each such lien of not less than $50.00 plus the recording fees and all attorney’s fees.
SECTION 7. It is recognized that within the Town limits there exist farm lands, woodland, cultivated fields, river and lake frontage and large undeveloped tracts of land in and on which the natural or controlled growth of trees and plants is unavoidable and in some cases desirable and does not constitute a public hazard or nuisance.
The owners or users of any such tract or tracts may apply to the Board of Aldermen for a certificate of exemption of any property in this account, which shall be granted for such periods as the Aldermen may fix upon the Board’s determination that plant growth on such property does not constitute a health, safety or sanitary risk to the general public. Such exemption may be revoked by the Board of Aldermen after notice and hearing upon the occurrence of any change in use or condition of the property that does in fact make uncontrolled growth upon it a violation of the standards stated in this ordinance.
The issuance of such certificate shall not be a defense to any action instituted prior to the dates of its issuance, nor shall such certificate have any retroactive effect to impair the validity of any liens or charges filed against the property.
SECTION 8. “Posting” as used herein means the mailing of a written notice in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid to the owner of the property at his address shown in the tax rolls of the tax collector of Ouachita Parish, or the affixing of a notice on a card or paper not less that 11 X14 inches in size to any raised post, door, tree, or other holder on the property in question that may be readily seen from nearest public thoroughfare to the property posted. Property so far removed from the public thoroughfare that it cannot be “posted” as defined herein shall not be subject to the provisions of this ordinance.
SECTION 9. The Town may serve or post as many notices of violation of this ordinance as may be necessary to insure its prompt and uniform enforcement against all violators. The Town may cut and remove grass and growth as many times as may be necessary to maintain the property in accordance with this ordinance, provided that thirty days has elapsed since the last cutting of grass by the Town or last notice served on the owner. Each violation for which notice is posted or a cutting performed shall constitute a separate offense.
SECTION 10. In addition to the costs, expenses and other charges imposed by this ordinance, the Mayor’s Court of the Town shall have the jurisdiction to impose criminal penalties for second and subsequent violations of this ordinance.
For a second offense of this ordinance, in addition to the other penalties provided herein, an offender shall pay a fine of not more than $300.00.
For a third offense of this ordinance, in addition to the other penalties provided herein, a offender shall pay a fine of not more than $500.00
For a fourth or subsequent offense of this ordinance, in addition to the other penalties provided herein, an offender shall pay a fine of not more than $500.00 and/or be sentenced to not more than ninety (90) days in jail.
For the purpose of determining subsequent offenses, a violation must occur which involves the same parcel of property for the enhancement provisions of this section to apply.
SECTION 11. EMERGENCY ABATEMENT. Whenever the appropriate municipal official determines that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, he may, without prior notice, issue and order that such emergency exists, requiring that such action be taken as deemed necessary to meet the emergency and such order shall be effective immediately. Failure of the responsible party to immediately abate violations of this section shall be unlawful and subject to the remedies and penalties of this chapter; and the Town, without further notice, may institute action to relieve the public of any threat.

The Ouachita Parish School Board met in regular session on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 at twelve (12:00) noon at its regular meeting place, the Ouachita Parish School Board office.
The following members were present: Jack White, Scott Robinson, A. R. Sims, Jerry R. Hicks, John Russell, Carey Walker and Susan Spence. There were none absent.
Board member Susan Spence led the Pledge to the Flag.
The Invocation was given by Board member John Russell.
On motion by Carey Walker, seconded by Susan Spence, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of April 8, 2008 as written.
On motion by Jerry Hicks, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board unanimously approved the revised Agenda as presented.
Susan Spence moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board approve the amended Personnel Agenda as submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
Superintendent Webber presented the Board with information regarding his plans and solutions to fix the financial problems in East Ouachita Parish involving the construction of two new schools in Richwood and Sterlington. The cost of building these two schools came in over budget causing a delay in their construction. He pointed out that the lack of additional funds would jeopardize their construction and continued to emphasize the need for additional funds in order to complete these two schools. To save money, he thought about the possibility of consolidating some Eastside schools. However, before pursuing this option, he contacted bond counsel, Grant Schlueter, with the law firm of Foley & Judell, for possible solutions to the Board’s financial woes in completing the Eastside projects. After talking with Mr. Schlueter, Dr. Webber expressed excitement at his suggestion to go to the Eastside voters with a proposition asking for an additional one-year extension on the existing bonds. He understands this would not require an increase in taxes to taxpayers above the current 30 mills ad valorem tax currently being levied on the property owners, generating over $9,000,000 in additional revenue. Dr. Webber expressed relief when Mr. Schlueter offered a possible solution to the Board’s financial problems in completing the Eastside projects. According to Dr. Webber, the additional monies would allow completion of both new schools, Richwood Middle, accommodating grades 6, 7, 8, and A. L. Smith Elementary. In addition, the new bond monies would generate enough funds to build a vocational instruction center on the campus of Ouachita High School similar to the future Ag Center at West Ouachita High School, scheduled for completion this fall. It is Dr. Webber’s objective to encourage the voters to approve the July 19, 2008 bond issue election in order to complete the Eastside projects. He believes that this proposal is a win-win situation for the taxpayers in that only one-year is added to the life of the bonds at no additional cost, making possible the construction of two new schools, vocational center and renovations at all East Ouachita Parish schools.
At this time, bond counsel, Grant Schlueter, introduced two resolutions for consideration with respect to adopting the “CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN” and ordering and calling a special election to be held on July 19, 2008, in the East Ouachita Parish School District.
Whereby, Susan Spence moved, that the Board adopt the resolution approving the “CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN” offered by the Ouachita Parish School Board in the East Ouachita Parish School District, Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana, designating purposes for which proceeds of a proposed bond issue will be budgeted, together with a recommendation that the foregoing be funded through not exceeding $9,200,000 of general obligation bonds and otherwise providing with respect thereto.
Before approval of Mrs. Spence’s original motion to adopt Mr. Schlueter’s first resolution, John Russell offered a substitute motion, seconded by Carey Walker, to amend the motion to include a change on the “CAPITOL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN” under the caption, Richwood Jr. High or Middle School. The “junior high school” concept will be changed to the “middle school” concept – grades 6,7,8 as follows: Change From: “Richwood Jr. High or Middle School” To: “Richwood Middle School”. Reverend Russell further moved to include the approval of the architect’s Plan “A” for the construction of the new Richwood Middle School, pending the passage of the proposed July 19, 2008 Eastside bond issue election. Motion carried unanimously.
With the foregoing approved amendments included in Mrs. Spence’s original motion, John Russell seconded her motion to adopt the “CAPITOL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN” as amended and presented by bond counsel, Grant Schlueter. Motion carried unanimously.
Upon motion by Susan Spence, seconded by John Russell, the Board also adopted the resolution presented by Mr. Schlueter ordering and calling a special election to be held on July 19, 2008 in the East Ouachita Parish School District of the Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana, to authorize the incurring of debt and issuance of bonds therein; making application to the State Bond Commission in connection therewith; and providing for other matters in connection therewith. Motion carried unanimously.
Pam Barton, Advanced Grant Supervisor, reported on competitive grants the parish received this past year. Linda Trimble, Robin Austin, Laura Hemphill and Julie Griffin were introduced as members of her team. Several students and their principals from Richwood Middle and Ouachita Junior High, participants in the API Initiative Program, spoke to the Board regarding the benefits of the AVID program.
In an effort to advise the Board of musical instrument repair services available to our system, Band Director/Coordinator Mark Walker introduced two instrument repair service providers located in this area, Dr. Isca and Mr. Bill Causey. At this time, the business owners advised the Board that they were prepared, qualified and available to repair musical instruments on site, if necessary, at reasonable rates and eager to serve.
Drug-Free Coordinator Bill Colvin, with the assistance of Board attorney Elmer Noah, presented a proposal for approval consisting of revisions in the Student Drug Testing Policy. Whereby, Jerry Hicks moved, seconded by John Russell, that the Board adopt the revised Student Drug Testing Policy as presented by Mr. Colvin. Motion carried unanimously.
Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones addressed the Board regarding the replacement of floor tile in 11 classrooms at Ouachita High School, including carpet for the upstairs balcony. Because this project was previously designated for repair using Eastside bond monies, Mr. Jones brought this request before the Board for consideration. The Board was provided three quotes from area vendors and Carey Walker moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, to accept the low bid from Bob Moss Carpet One in the amount of $27,275.84 to replace the floor tile in eleven (11) classrooms and carpet for the upstairs balcony at OPHS. Motion unanimously carried.
Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher gave a construction/ renovation projects update and announced that renovations at West Ridge and the West Monroe High School gym are basically on schedule and the construction of the multi-purpose buildings at Riverbend Elementary and Ouachita High has started.
Mr. Slusher continued with his recommendation to accept the low bid of Mann’s Construction in the amount of $1,155,658.00 for Drew Elementary School renovations [Bid No. 41-08]. Following discussion, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by Jerry Hicks, that the board table this bid for the next meeting to give Business Manager Richie Garrett time to prepare a financial report of available funds and evaluate the needs at other schools before making a decision to accept this bid. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Richie Garrett, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board accept the bids meeting specifications as follows: (2) Sale of used Bus No. 183 for $410 and Bus No. 204 for $500 from Bobby Lain (only responsive bid received) [Bid No. 46-08]; (4) Washington Music for bass drum in the amount of $480.00 and reject the only two bids received for a sousaphone and re-bid because neither did not meet specifications [Bid No. 50-08]; (5) Accept the low responsive bids meeting specifications under each bid item printed in bold for chillers at Lenwil – Pinecrest – Riser – Shady Grove schools [Bid No. 49-08]. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by Carey Walker, seconded by Susan Spence, the Board accepted the recommendation of Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher and approved the low bid meeting specifications from Traxler Construction/Mechanical Systems in the amount of $1,086,000 for renovations at Swartz Upper Elementary School [Bid No. 47-08]. Motion carried unanimously.
At the request of Business Manager Richie Garrett, Jerry Hicks moved, seconded by Scott Robinson, that the Board amend the Agenda to include the bid for flooring the upper gym at West Ouachita High School. Motion carried unanimously.
Upon motion by Jerry Hicks, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board granted permission to bid the following items as recommended by Business Manager Richie Garrett: (1) OPHS softball field renovations [Bid No. 51-08]; (2) Bathroom renovations at Eastside schools [Bid No. 52-08] (3) WMHS Air conditioning system (HVAC) renovations [Bid No. 53-08]; (4) OPHS track [Bid No. 10-09]; (5) Re-bid Musical instruments (system-wide) [Bid No. 54-08]; (6) Upper gym floor at WOHS. Motion carried unanimously.
The next Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 12:00 noon.
There being no further business to come before the Board, Jerry Hicks moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board meeting adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.

NOTICE
The Ouachita Parish School Board met in a “special called” meeting on Thursday, May 22, 2008 at one (1:00) o’clock P.M. at its regular meeting place, the Ouachita Parish School Board office for the purpose of evaluating time-sensitive bids.
The following members were present: Scott Robinson, A. R. Sims, Jerry R. Hicks and Carey Walker. Those absent were: Jack White, John Russell and Susan Spence.
Due to the absence of President Jack White, Vice President, Jerry Hicks served as President Pro-Tem.
The Pledge to the Flag was led by Carey Walker.
The Invocation was given by Bobby Jones.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Scott Robinson, the Board unanimously approved the Agenda as presented.
Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones expressed his concerns regarding problems he is having with the recent surplus equipment bids. The bids advertised last month did not receive any responsive bidders and there is still a lot of surplus equipment left to dispose of. Mr. Jones assured the Board that as in the past, items are basically sold for the same minimum prices, but because there were buyers coming to him wanting to buy surplus equipment, i.e., scrap metal, could he have the Board’s permission to dispose of surplus equipment through private sale. Mr. Jones explained that he just wanted the Board to know that he will be selling surplus equipment, but still setting the price at the same minimum value as though it were through the bid process while assuring them that the items will not be given away or sold for less than their worth. After contacting the state attorney general’s office, Mr. Jones was informed that this course of action is permissible. Whereby, A. R. Sims moved, seconded by Scott Robinson, that the Board grant permission to Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones to dispose of surplus equipment through private sale rather than the bid process. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Richie Garrett, Carey Walker moved, seconded by Scott Robinson, that the Board adopt the resolution in connection with funding for Medicare taxes when mandatory state pay raises are approved. According to Mr. Garrett, the increased funding for pay raises provides no state or MFP funding for mandatory Medicare taxes that must be paid by the local school district when mandatory state pay raises are approved. This resolution petitions the state to include funding for Medicare tax in the MFP formula when calculating mandatory pay raises. Motion carried unanimously.
Scott Robinson moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board accept the low bid of Mann’s Construction in the amount of $1,155,658.00 for the Drew Elementary renovations [Bid No. 41-08] as recommended by Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by Carey Walker, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board granted permission to bid the following items as recommended by Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones: (1) tork paper [Bid No. 11-09]; (2) toilet paper [Bid No. 12-09]; (3) office supplies [Bid No. 13-09]; (4) T-Buildings to be paid from general fund not to exceed $80,000 [Bid No. 14-09]. Motion carried unanimously.
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 12:00 noon.
There being no further business to be brought before the Board, Mr. Sims moved, seconded by Carey Walker, that the meeting adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
