PUBLIC NOTICE:
Pursuant to the requirements of the Amended Safe Drinking Water Act, Southwest Ouachita Waterworks, PWS ID # 1073047 is informing our customers of a non-compliance water sampling test. This test failure occurred at the end of a chlorine maintenance program.
During the reporting period of October 1, 2011 through October 31, 2011 the Southwest Ouachita Waterworks violated the maximum contaminate level of coliform bacteria as set forth in the State and Federal Primary Drinking Water Regulation [Part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code (LAC 51:XII)]. Action has been taken to eliminate the contamination.
Flushing and a return to Chloramines as a disinfectant measure corrected this violation.
You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPS’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
This is not an emergency. If it had been you would have been notified immediately. Total coliform bacteria are generally not harmful themselves. 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.
Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the treatment or distribution system (pipes). Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing. If we had, we would have notified you immediately.
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.
