PRAIRIE ROAD WATER DISTRICT
NOTICE TO WATER CUSTOMERS
PRAIRIE ROAD WATER SUPPLY
03-01-2010
PWS ID No LA 1073040
The Prairie Road Water District is currently in violation of the maximum contaminant level for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) as set forth by the States (Part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code) and the Federal Primary Water Regulations (40 CFR Part 141). Although this incident is not an emergency, as our customers, you have the right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (LDHH) set drinking water standards and require 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). The EPA and LDHH set standards for controlling the levels of disinfectants and DBPs in drinking water, including trialmethanes (THMs) Some people who drink water containing THMs in excess of the MCL over MANY YEARS may experience problems with liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of 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 TTHM standard for all public ground water systems serving less than 10,000.00 individuals initially became effective and enforceable on January 1, 2004. Compliance with the TTHMs standard is determined by calculations a running annual average (RAA) of quarterly TTHMs sample results. Compliance calculations performed during the fourth calendar quarter of 2009 show that the system’s current TTHMs running annual average is 189ppb thus, the system is currently in violation of the TTHMs standard.
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) has the potential to have serious adverse effects on human health.
If you should have any questions please contact Ted Davidson, Operator at Prairie Road Water District, 2176 Prairie Road, Monroe, LA 71202; (318) 235-8461.

Any additional procedures set forth in the Agreement, authorized in this Resolution, shall also be available with respect to any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond.
SECTION 20. Discharge of Resolution; Defeasance. If the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid to the Owner, the principal of and interest on the Bonds, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Resolution, then the pledge of the money, securities, and funds pledged under this Resolution and all covenants, agreements, and other obligations of the Issuer to the Owner shall thereupon cease, terminate, and become void and be discharged and satisfied, and the Paying Agent shall pay over or deliver all money held by it under this Resolution to the Issuer.
Bonds or interest installments for the payment or redemption of which money shall have been set aside and shall be held in trust (through deposit by the Issuer of funds for such payment or otherwise) at the maturity date thereof shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed above in this Section if they are defeased in the manner provided by Chapter 14 of Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended.
SECTION 21. Successor Paying Agent; Paying Agent Agreement. The Issuer will at all times maintain a Paying Agent meeting the qualifications hereinafter described for the performance of the duties hereunder for the Bonds. The designation of the initial Paying Agent in this Resolution is hereby confirmed and approved. The Issuer reserves the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent by (a) filing with the Person then performing such function a certified copy of a resolution giving notice of the termination of the Agreement and appointing a successor and (b) causing notice to be given to the Owner. Every Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall at all times be a bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. The Executive Officers are hereby authorized and directed to execute an appropriate Agreement with the Paying Agent for and on behalf of the Issuer in such form as may be satisfactory to said officers, the signatures of said officers on such Agreement to be conclusive evidence of the due exercise of the authority granted hereunder.
SECTION 22. Disclosure Under SEC Rule 15c2-12. It is recognized that the Issuer will not be required to comply with the continuing disclosure requirements described in the Rule 15c2-12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Commission [17 CFR §240.15c2-12(b)], because:
(a) the Bonds are not being purchased by a broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer acting as an underwriter in a primary offering of municipal securities; and
(b) the Bonds are being sold to only one financial institution (i.e., no more than thirty-five persons), which (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Bond and (ii) is not purchasing the Bond for more than one account or with a view to distributing the Bond.
SECTION 23. Arbitrage. The Issuer covenants and agrees that, to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Louisiana, it will comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and any amendment thereto (the "Code") in order to establish, maintain and preserve the exclusion from "gross income" of interest on the Bonds under the Code. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that it will not take any action, fail to take any action, or permit any action within its control to be taken, or permit at any time or times any of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the Issuer to be used directly or indirectly in any manner, the effect of which would be to cause the Bonds to be an "arbitrage bond" or would result in the inclusion of the interest on the Bonds in gross income under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) the failure to comply with the limitation on investment of Bond proceeds or (ii) the failure to pay any required rebate of arbitrage earnings to the United States of America or (iii) the use of the proceeds of the Bonds in a manner which would cause the Bond to be a "private activity bond".
SECTION 24. Designation as "Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations". The Bonds are designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In making this designation, the Issuer finds and determines that:
(a) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" within the meaning of the Code; and
(b) the reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax-exempt obligations which will be issued by the Issuer and all subordinate entities in calendar year 2010 does not exceed $30,000,000.
The Executive Officers are hereby empowered, authorized and directed to take any and all action and to execute and deliver any instrument, document or certificate necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section.
SECTION 25. Publication. A copy of this Resolution shall be published immediately in one (1) issue of the official journal of the Issuer.
SECTION 26. Award of Bonds. The Issuer hereby accepts the offer of the Purchasers to purchase the Bonds, attached as Exhibit "A" hereto. The Bonds shall be delivered to the Purchasers upon the payment of the principal amount thereof.
SECTION 27. Reimbursement Payments. Any and all Reimbursement Payments actually received by the Issuer, and any and all Reimbursement Payments actually received by the Cities and assigned by the Cities to the Issuer, shall be transferred to the Sinking Fund and used within 15 days from the date of deposit in the Sinking Fund to redeem bonds as set forth in Section 3(c) of this Resolution. This Section shall not impose any affirmative duty on the Issuer or the Cities to pursue Reimbursement Payments.
SECTION 28. Automatic Repealer. It is expressly provided by this Governing Authority that the Bonds shall only be issued to comply with the obligations of the Issuer and the Cities under the Cooperative Endeavor Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision or provisions of this Resolution, the Bonds shall not be delivered and this Resolution shall be automatically repealed if the Company fails to commence Phase III as contemplated in Section 4.03 of the Cooperative Endeavor Agreement, as amended or supplemented. The capitalized terms used in this Section but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given them in the Cooperative Endeavor Agreement for purposes of this Section only.
It is further expressly provided that upon the issuance of the Bonds, the terms of this Resolution shall supercede the terms of Resolution 09-65, adopted by the Police Jury of the Issuer on July 20, 2009.
SECTION 29. Severability; Application of Subsequently Enacted Laws. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Resolution or of the Bonds shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Resolution or of the Bonds, but this Resolution and the Bonds shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provisions had not been contained therein. Any constitutional or tatutory provisions enacted after the date of this Resolution which validate or make legal any provision of the Resolution and/or the Bonds which would not otherwise be valid or legal, shall be deemed to apply to this Resolution and to the Bonds.
