Re: Safe Drinking Water Act: Notice of Violation/Public Notification of Non-Compliance Disinfectants/Disinfection By-Products Rule (TTHMs) MCL Violation Community Water System Village Of Dubach Water System PWS ID # LA1061003 Lincoln Parish Page 2 Part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code requires the notice include the following statements: The Village Of Dubach 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) set drinking water standards and requires 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 (THMs) and haloacetic acid (HAAs). Some people who drink water containing THMs 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 parts per billion (ppb) to reduce the risk of cancer or other adverse health effects. Compliance with the TTHMs and HAA5 standard for public water systems serving less than 10,000 individuals initially became effective and enforceable on January 1, 2004. 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 second quarter of 2026 show that the system's current TTHMs LRAAs are 152 ppb at DBP02- 236 Fuller Loop and 120 ppb at DBP04- 134 Simpson Rd. Thus, the system is currently in violation of the TTHMs standard. 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 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. Part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code further requires that the notice include the telephone number of the owner, operator, or designee of the public water system as a source of additional information concerning the notice. Steps being taken to comply should also be included. Published in the Ruston Daily Leader; $30.00 on Aug 14, 2026.

LINCOLN PARISH SCHOOL BOARD Ruston, Louisiana SPECIAL CALLED SESSION Tuesday, July 21, 2026 5:00 p.m. The Lincoln Parish School Board met in Special Called Session on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in the Board Room of the Lincoln Parish School Board Office, 410 South Farmerville Street, Ruston, Louisiana. Members present were Ms. Debbie Abrahm, Mr. Clark Canterbury, Ms. Donna Doss, Mr. David Ferguson, Mr. Danny Hancock, Mr. George Mack, Jr., Ms. Patricia Mims-Brooks, Mr. Gregg Phillips, and Dr. Danielle Williams. Mr. Joe Mitcham and Mr. Hunter Smith were absent. President Phillips called the meeting to order, gave the invocation and led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag. Upon a motion by Ms. Doss, seconded by Mr. Canterbury, the Board unanimously voted to adopt the agenda as printed. Superintendent John Young stated that the sole purpose of the meeting was to appoint an individual to fill the vacant District 10 School Board seat created by the passing of Mr. Otha Anders. He informed the Board that he had received a letter from the Louisiana Secretary of State advising that, upon the Board's appointment at the conclusion of the meeting, a commission would be issued to the individual selected to fill the vacancy. Three qualified applicants were present for consideration: Ms. Juan Hooper, Dr. Lorie Ann Hopkins-Brown, and Ms. Jennifer Mamon. Each applicant was allotted five minutes to introduce themselves and explain their interest in serving on the Board, followed by questions from Board members. Ms. Mamon addressed the Board first, followed by Ms. Hooper and then Dr. Hopkins-Brown. After all applicants had spoken and responded to questions, the meeting was opened for public comment. Ms. Veda Emerson read a letter from the family of Mr. Otha Anders expressing their support for Ms. Hooper's appointment to fill the vacancy. Following the reading of the letter, Dr. Hopkins-Brown, out of respect for the Anders family, withdrew her name from consideration. Several other members of the public also addressed the Board during the public comment period. Board Attorney Neal Johnson explained the voting process to the Board. Initially, paper ballots had been prepared to facilitate voting with three candidates under consideration. Following discussion among Board members, the Board agreed to conduct the vote by roll call instead. Motion was made by Mr. Hancock, seconded by Ms. Abrahm, to nominate Ms. Jennifer Mamon to fill the vacancy for District 10. The Board voted by roll call, 5-4, not to appoint Ms. Mamon. Mr. Mack made a motion, seconded by Dr. Williams, to nominate Ms. Juan Hooper to fill the vacancy for District 10. The Board voted by roll call, 7-2, to appoint Ms. Hooper to fill the District 10 vacancy for the remainder of the unexpired term. Superintendent Young read the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Lincoln Parish School Board (“School Board”) has received official notification from the Louisiana Secretary of State, officially notifying the School Board of the vacancy resulting from the death of Board Member Otha Anders; WHEREAS, Otha Anders served as Board Member for District 10; WHEREAS, the unexpired term of office for District 10 will not exceed one year, a special election will not be required to fill the vacancy. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lincoln Parish School Board hereby appoints Ms. Juan Hooper to fill the vacancy in the office of Lincoln Parish School Board, District 10, for the remainder of the unexpired term. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this Proclamation be published in the official journal of the School Board, and that additional copies be sent by certified or registered mail to the Clerk of Court of Lincoln Parish and the Louisiana Secretary of State, as required by law. This Proclamation was offered by Board Member George Mack and seconded by Board Member Danielle Williams, having been submitted to a vote, the vote thereon was recorded as follows: Yeas – 7, Nays – 2, Absent – 2. The Proclamation is declared adopted on this the 21st day of July 2026. Following the Board's vote to appoint Ms. Juan Hooper as the District 10 representative, Board Attorney Neal successfully administered the Oath of Office to Ms. Hooper. There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 5:54 p.m. John Young, Secretary Gregg Phillips, President Published in the Ruston Daily Leader; $48.00 on Aug 14, 2026.
