The Water We Drink  ;  ...  TOWN OF MAURICE WATER SYSTEM  Public Water Supply ID: LA1113019  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. Traduzcalo 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 #3 - NE WELL  Source Water Type  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 NEIL ARSEMENT at 337-893-6406.  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 (ppm) 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 fug/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  3  #  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 4 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  1.1  HighestRAA Unit  ppm  Range  0.74 -1.54  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. Chemical Sampling of our drinking water may not be required on an annual basis; therefore, information provided in this table refers back to the latest year of chemical sampling results.  The State of Louisiana regularly monitors source water per State and Federal Regulations. Treated water samples are monitored to further evaluate compliance.  Source Water  Regulated  Collection  Date  Highest❘ Range Value  Unit MCL  MCLG | Typical Source  Contaminants  ARSENIC  4/15/2024 1.9  1.9  ppb  10  0  DI(2-ETHYLHEXYL) 4/15/2024 0.52  0.52  ppb  6  PHTHALATE  FLUORIDE  4/15/2024 0.3  0.3  ppm  4  4  Erosion of natural deposits; Runoff from orchards; Runoff from glass and electronics production wastes  Discharge from rubber and chemical factories  Erosion of natural deposits; Water  additive which promotes strong  teeth; Discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories  Source Water  Radiological  Collection Date  Highest Range Value  Unit  MCL  MCLG | Typical Source  Contaminants  COMBINED RADIUM  4/15/2024  1.08  1.08  pCi/l  5  (-226 & -228)  GROSS BETA  4/15/2024  2.01  2.01  pCi/l  50  0  PARTICLE ACTIVITY  Erosion of natural deposits  Decay of natural and man-made deposits.  Date  90TH  Range  Unit  AL  Sites  Lead and Copper  COPPER, FREE  Percentile  Over AL  2023 -2025  0.359  0.0602 -  ppm  1.3  0  0.457  COPPER, FREE  2023 - 2025  0.359  0.0602 -  0.457  ppm  1.3  0  LEAD  2023-2025 2.5  0-4.9  ppb  15 0  LEAD  2023-2025 2.5  0-4.9  ppb  15  0  Typical Source  Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits; Leaching from wood preservatives Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits; Leaching from wood preservatives  Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits  Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits  Disinfection  Sample Point Period  Byproducts  Highest | Range LRAA  Unit  MCL] MCLG| Typical Source  TOTAL HALOACETIC  ACIDS (HAAS)  E VINCENT & 2025  ANDRE AVE  8.8  ppb  60  0  By-product of drinking water disinfection  TOTAL HALOACETIC S LAFAYETTE & | 2025  8  8.4  ppb 60  0  ACIDS (HAAS)  HWY 92  By-product of drinking water disinfection  TTHM  E VINCENT & 2025  ANDRE AVE  31  31  ppb 80  0  By-product of drinking water chlorination  TTHM  S LAFAYETTE & ] 2025  HWY 92  31  30.9  ppb | 80  0  By-product of drinking water chlorination  Source Secondary Contaminants  Collection Date  Highest Value  Range  Unit SMCL  ALUMINUM  4/15/2024  0.06  0.06  MG/L  0.2  , 4、,--,,-,----8--,、696, 7Ir E"་  CHLORIDE  4/15/2024  27  27  MG/L  250  HARDNESS, TOTAL (AS CACO3)  4/15/2024  100.4  100.4  MG/L 0  IRON  4/15/2024  1.32  1.32  MG/L 0.3  MANGANESE  4/15/2024  0.16  0.16  MG/L  0.05  PH  4/15/2024  7.1  7.1  PH  8.5  :  POTASSIUM  4/15/2024  1.4  1.4  MG/L 0  SODIUM  4/15/2024  66  66  MG/L 0  Treated Secondary Contaminants  Collection Date  Highest Value  Range  Unit  SMCL  IRON  9/29/2025  0.01  0.01  MG/L 0.3  MANGANESE  9/29/2025  0.01  0.01  MG/L 0.05  "  +++‍++++Environmental Protection Agency Required Health Effects Language+++†††††††† Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. 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. TOWN OF MAURICE WATER SYSTEM 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 TOWN OF MAURICE WATER SYSTEM and NEIL ARSEMENT BUS Phone: 337-893-6406. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.  There are no additional required health effects notices.  There are no additional required health effects violation notices.  Thank you for allowing us to continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers.  We at the TOWN OF MAURICE WATER SYSTEM work around the clock to provide top quality drinking water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect and conserve our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life, and our children's future. Additional information on the water system can be found at www.ldh.la.gov/watergrade. Please call our office if you have questions.  3  (PUBLISHED: AUGUST 29, 2026) Cost: $300.00

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER MONITORING REQUIREMENTS NOT MET FOR THE TOWN OF GUEYDAN WATER SYSTEM Our water system did not fulfill our monitoring requirements over the past year. Even though this was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct the situation. We routinely sample water at consumers’ taps for lead and copper. The tests during past monitoring periods showed elevated copper levels in the water above the limit, or “action level” so we are required to install and maintain corrosion control treatment. We did not collect some or all of the required water quality parameters necessary to ensure effective corrosion control treatment during the July 1 through December 31, 2025 collection period. There is nothing you need to do at this time. Necessary action has been taken to prevent this violation from recurring. 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. For more information, please contact Town of Gueydan Water System at 337-536-9415.
