The Water We Drink  MAGNOLIA PLANTATION WATER SYSTEM INC  Public Water Supply ID: LA1113032  We are pleased to present to you the Annual Water Quality Report for the year 2025. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of your water and services we deliver to you every day (Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable. Tradúzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien). Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water.  Our water source(s) are listed below:  Source Name  WELL #1 - NORTH  WELL #2 - SOUTHEAST  WELL #3 - SOUTHERNMOST  Source Water Type  Ground water  Ground water  Ground water  The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include:  Microbial Contaminants - such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife,  Inorganic Contaminants - such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.  Pesticides and Herbicides - which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.  Organic Chemical Contaminants - including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.  Radioactive Contaminants - which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.  A Source Water Assessment Plan (SWAP) is now available from our office. This plan is an assessment of a delineated area around our listed sources through which contaminants, if present, could migrate and reach our source water. It also includes an inventory of potential sources of contamination within the delineated area, and a determination of the water supply's susceptibility to contamination by the identified potential sources. According to the Source Water Assessment Plan, our water system had a susceptibility rating of 'MEDIUM'. If you would like to review the Source Water Assessment Plan, please feel free to contact our office.  In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the  :  same protection for public health. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you have any questions about this report, want to attend any scheduled meetings, or simply want to learn more about your drinking water, please contact MAGNOLIA PLANTATION WATER SYSTEM, INC. at 337-893-1331.  There is no safe level of lead in drinking water. Exposure to lead in drinking water can cause serious health effects in all age groups, especially pregnant people, infants (both formula-fed and breastfed), and young children. Some of the health effects to infants and children include decreases in IQ and attention span. Lead exposure can also result in new or worsened learning and behavior problems. The children of persons who are exposed to lead before or during pregnancy may be at increased risk of these harmful health effects. Adults have increased risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or nervous system problems. Contact your health care provider for more information about your risks.  The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals - Office of Public Health routinely monitors for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The tables that follow show the results of our monitoring during the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2025. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health  risk.  In the tables below, you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms, we've provided the following definitions:  Parts per million (ppin) or Milligrams per liter (mg/L) – one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.  Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ug/L) – one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.  Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) – picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.  Treatment Technique (TT) – an enforceable procedure or level of technological performance which public water systems must follow to ensure control of a contaminant.  Action level (AL) – the concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.  Maximum contaminant level (MCL) – the "Maximum Allowed" MCL is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL's are set as close to the MCLG's as feasible using the best available treatment technology.  Maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) -- the "Goal" is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or  !  expected risk to human health. MCLG's allow for a margin of safety.  Maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.  Maximum residual disinfectant level goal (MRDLG)—- The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.  Level 1 assessment – A study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system.  Level 2 Assessment - A very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an E, coll MCL violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system on multiple occasions.  Our water system tested a minimum of 10 sample(s) per month in accordance with the Total Coliform Rule for microbiological contaminants. With the microbiological samples collected, the water system collects disinfectant residuals to ensure control of microbial growth.  Disinfectant Date  CHLORINE  2025  1.3  HighestRAA Unit  ppm  Range  0.61 - 1.83  MRDL | MRDLG | Typical Source  4  4  Water additive used to control microbes  In the tables below, we have shown the regulated contaminants that were detected.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).  Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. MAGNOLIA PLANTATION WATER SYSTEM INC is responsible for providing high quality drinking water and removing lead pipes, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components in your home. You share the responsibility for protecting yourself and your family from the lead in your home plumbing. You can take responsibility by identifying and removing lead materials within your home plumbing and taking steps to reduce your family's risk. Before drinking tap water, flush your pipes for several minutes by running your tap, taking a shower, doing laundry or a load of dishes. You can also use a filter certified by an American National Standards Institute accredited certifier to reduce lead in drinking water. If you are concerned about lead in your water and wish to have your water tested, contact MAGNOLIA PLANTATION WATER SYSTEM INC BUS Phone: 337-893- 1331.

(a) & (b) and section 4.- Arsement went over the proposed Ordinance. After discussion with office personnel regarding timing of utility bill processing, Arsement suggested Council members look at changing the disconnect date stated in the proposed ordinance from the 15th of the month to 15 days or 15 business days after utility bills have become delinquent. The current adopted ordinance set the disconnect date for 45 days after delinquent. Nichole Bonin advised disconnects set for either 15 business days or 15 days upon delinquency would work with the utility billing system timing. Arsement also advised a date of disconnect was added for 3 days after discovery of a water leak. Catalon asked if a disconnect from leaks would affect hot water tanks and was advised only if drained by the homeowner. Schlicher wanted the disconnect date stated on each bill or disconnect on the 10th of each month. Lafleur, Scott Trahan, Landry-Lalande, and Legal Lafleur didn’t agree with stating the disconnect date on each bill suggesting instead the timeframe established by the ordinance be stated. Schlicher also thought the 20% late fee established when the Town had less customers should be reviewed. Scott Trahan asked Nichole Bonin and Shakyla Cormier if business days was enough time to settle past due utility accounts and was advised the timeframe was sufficient.

Suggestions were made to potentially add electric scooters and electric bikes to the Marice Park Ordinance. Nerren asked for clarification on permission to hire another officer.
