IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER DeSoto Parish Water District #1 Did Not Meet Treatment Requirements The DeSoto Parish Water District #1 is currently in violation of the treatment technique requirements for disinfection as set forth in the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S. C.A. 300f et seq). 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 the situation. We routinely monitor for disinfectant residual in the distribution system. This measurement tells us whether we are effectively disinfecting the water supply. Disinfectant residual is the amount of chlorine or related disinfectant present in the pipes of the distribution system. If the amount of disinfectant is too low, organisms could grow in the pipes. Monthly exceedance- During the months of August 2026 and September 2026, disinfectant residuals were below 0.5 mg/l in more than 5% of samples. The standard is that the disinfectant may be less than 0.5 mg/l in no more than 5% of samples each month for two months in a row. Action has been taken to prevent this violation from recurring. We have been monitoring our system very closely, doing more flushing and sampling. This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified within 24 hrs. The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) sets drinking water standards and has determined that the presence of microbiological contaminants are a health concern at certain levels of exposure. If water is inadequately treated microbiological contaminants in the water may cause disease. Disease symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possibly jaundice, any associate headaches and fatigue. These symptoms, however are not just associated with disease-causing organisms in drinking water, but also may be caused by a number of factors other than your drinking water. LDH has set enforceable requirement for treating drinking water to reduce the risk of these adverse health effects. Treatment such as filtering and disinfecting the water removes or destroys microbiological contaminants. Drinking water which is treated to meet LDH requirements is associated with little to none of this risk and should be considered safe. For more information please contact David Ryals at 318-872-0004. Please share this information with all the other people who drink the 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. 515.26 11/05 Cost of Notice: $35.00
