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 fourth quarter of 2025 show that the systems current TTHMs LRAAs are: 100 ppb at DBP01 - 6900 Rice Rd., 108 ppb at DBP02 400 Homalot @ Bitt, 115 ppb at DBP03 Norris Ferry Rd., 157 ppb at DBP04 4575 N. Market @ FS2, 112 ppb at DBP05 Longlake @ Overton Brooks, 125 ppb at DBP06 6600 Longtimbers @ Kingfish, 116 ppb at DBP07 4200 Reily Lane, and 84 ppb at DBP08 Kingston Rd.; thus, the system is currently in violation of the TTHMs standard. 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 this year, and you received a second notice after the third quarter. As stated in the earlier notices, the primary issue in this case was caused by a problem that occurred in June 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 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 is being addressed). 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 fourth calendar quarter (and for the same reason, similar notices will likely again be required after future calendar quarters). 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, 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.
