IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER The Shreveport Water System is currently in violation of the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes as set forth by the State [Part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code (LAC) 51:XII)] and the Federal Primary Drinking Water Regulations (40 CFR Part 141). The violation is not an emergency and you do not need to boil your water or take any other actions; however, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what is being done to correct the situation. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) 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). EPA and LDH set standards for controlling the levels of disinfectants and DBPs in drinking water, including trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acid (HAA5). Some people who drink water containing TTHMs 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 standards for TTHMs at 80 parts per billion (ppb) and for HAA5 at 60 ppb to reduce the risk of cancer or other adverse health effects. Compliance with the TTHMs standard is determined by calculating a locational running annual average (LRAA) of quarterly TTHMs sample results. Compliance calculations performed for the first quarter of 2026 show that the systems current TTHMs LRAAs are: 93 ppb at DBP01 - 6900 Rice Rd., 101 ppb at DBP02 400 Homalot @ Bitt, 113 ppb at DBP03 Norris Ferry Rd., 140 ppb at DBP04 4575 N. Market @ FS2, 108 ppb at DBP05 Longlake @ Overton Brooks, 121 ppb at DBP06 6600 Longtimbers @ Kingfish, and 98 ppb at DBP07 4200 Reily Lane; thus, the system is currently in violation of the TTHMs standard. These sites constitute 7 of our 8 DBP monitoring stations located throughout the water distribution system. This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. EPA and LDH 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 and HAA5 levels above the standard (e.g., 20 years of exposure) has the potential to have serious adverse effects on human health. You initially received notice of this violation after the second calendar quarter of 2025. You also received a second notice after the third quarter of 2025 and a third notice after the fourth quarter of 2025. As stated in the earlier notices, the primary issue in this case was caused by a problem that occurred in June of 2025 with a chemical feed pump which was resolved shortly thereafter and resulted in no potential adverse health effects. Samples obtained during the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2025 were back to normal throughout the system, with only one of the eight sampling locations (DBP04 4575 N. Market) showing an elevated result for the fourth quarter (due to a brief localized issue which has been addressed). All results for the first quarter of 2026 at all locations were well within limits. Because regulatory compliance at each sample site is based on an annual average calculated every quarter (rather than upon one-time test results), we are required to once again provide this notice to you after the latest calendar quarter. However, as noted, the issues in this case were short-term in nature, with the primary problem occurring over a short span in the month of June, 2025, and therefore present no health concerns. 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 notice is provided by the Shreveport Water System, PWS ID 1017031. If you have questions about this notice, please contact the water system directly at (318) 673-7654, or City of Shreveport, Department of Water and Sewerage, P. O. Box 31109, Shreveport, LA 71130. 12306570 5/5/26 ($119.99)

Carla Collins made general comments as it relates to the mass shooting on April 19, 2026. Councilwoman Taylor: Please allow me, Attorney Edwards, there is not in any shape, form orfashion that I have authorized anything. I dont handle money which was made crystal clear whenMs. Gulverston came before here. There were meetings that were held between city governmentand the council liaison, but not one time has Councilwoman Taylor authorized anything to insertherself in family business or whatever, because I think that sometimes support for family may getconfused with obligation. So, let me be clear on that because I will not have my integrity or mynamed defamed in that matter. I have overwhelming compassion for this family and requested theneeds of long-term counseling and whatever help. This community took it upon themselves to say,hey this is what we want to give and that was given in every direction. But to say at any givenpoint, I dont care who the person is, that this is what Councilwoman Taylor orchestrated to beintrusive on the family, not. Praying support, yes, Intrusiveness, not. I dont appreciate that in any given form or fashion I can state that for the record from here to the council office all the waydown. That is not what I do and that is not how I operate in any family and the four mass shootingsthat I have been on, will tell you that.
