PUBLIC NOTICE The Water We Drink KEATCHIE WATER SYSTEM Public Water Supply ID: LA1031007 We are pleased to present to you the Annual Water Quality Report for the year 2021. 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 Source Water Type WELL #06, KEATCHIE SITE #3 Ground Water WELL #04, LONGSTREET SITE (NORTH) Ground Water WELL NO. 12 MEADOWVIEW Ground Water WELL #09, LONGSTREET SITE (SOUTH) Ground Water WELL #08, SHILOH SITE (WEST) Ground Water WELL #07, SHILOH SITE (MIDDLE) Ground Water WELL #05, KICKAPOO SITE Ground Water WELL #02, KEATCHIE SITE (WEST) Ground Water WELL #01, KEATCHIE SITE (EAST) Ground Water WELL #03, SHILOH SITE (EAST) Ground Water WELL #11, SMYRNA 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 BILLY MCFADDEN at 318-933-0330. If present, elevated levels of 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. KEATCHIE WATER SYSTEM is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. The Louisiana Department of 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, 2021. 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 (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. coli MCL violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system on multiple occasions. During the period covered by this report we had the below noted violations.

NOTICE NOTICE is hereby given, pursuant to article IV, section 21 (D) (1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on June 20, 2022, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (“ELL”) an electric public utility providing retail electric service to customers in fifty-eight Parishes of the State of Louisiana, filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC” or the “Commission”) in LPSC Docket No. U-36350, First and Second Supplemental Applications requesting a Financing Order, a new Rider Financed Storm Cost V (“FSC V”) rider schedule, and a new Rider Storm Cost Offset V (“SCO V”) rider schedule, to implement various rate changes for recovery in rates of costs related to Hurricane Ida and Hurricanes Laura, Delta, and Zeta and Winter Storm Uri pursuant to Act No. 55 of the Louisiana Regular Session of 2007 (“Act 55”), as supplemented by Act No. 293 of the Louisiana Legislature’s Regular Session of 2021 (together the” Restoration Law”). In order to pursue financing authorized by the Restoration Law, ELL and the Louisiana Utilities Restoration Corporation (“LURC” or “Corporation”) have requested that the Commission approve and authorize the Corporation to finance, through the issuance of system restoration bonds, ELL’s system restoration costs associated with Hurricane Ida and Hurricanes Laura, Delta, and Zeta, and Winter Storm Uri and related relief under the Restoration Law. The Corporation and ELL have requested Commission authorization for the issuance of system restoration bonds in one or more series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of $1.658 billion of net system restoration costs, which includes carrying costs and unamortized debt costs on interim financing, and issuance costs. To finance these costs, ELL proposes to implement Rider FSC V Rates, on behalf of LURC, effective by billing on the first day of the first billing cycle of the next revenue month following the issuance date of the system restoration bonds. Assuming system restoration bond issuance on December 19, 2022, Rider FSC V Rates will be implemented with the first billing cycle of January 2023. The Rider FSC V Rates, as periodically adjusted, will continue in effect until all system restoration bonds shall have been paid in full and all financing costs of the system restoration bonds shall have been recovered in full. ELL requests Commission determination that the calculation of the Rider FSC V Rates will apply to all rate classes, including any Special Contracted Rate customers and will be non-bypassable, which means that, with limited exception, all existing and future LPSC-jurisdictional ELL customers will be responsible for these charges. Other adjustments required to compensate for certain costs or benefits relating to elements other than those relating to the financing transaction, including accumulated deferred income taxes and other savings pursuant to Restoration Law Financing, are proposed to be reflected in the Rider SCO V. If the Commission were to issue a financing order for the full amount requested by ELL and were it to adopt the rate design reflected in Riders FSCIV and SCOIV (pertaining to Hurricanes Laura, Delta, and Zeta and Winter Storm Uri): (1) the system restoration charge, billed on behalf of the LURC, on the monthly electric bill through Rider FSC V for one of ELL’s LPSC-jurisdictional residential customers using 1,000 kWh is estimated at $5.37 per month; (2) the first year’s Rider SCOV imposed on the monthly electric bill of one of its LPSC-jurisdictional residential customers through proposed Rider SCOV using 1,000 kWh is estimated to be a credit of $0.14 per month; and (3) the net effect of Rider FSCV and Rider SCOV on a residential customer using 1,000 kWh is estimated to be $5.23 per month, which equates to an increase of 4.3%. The public version of the Company’s filing, including its attachments, may be viewed in the Records Division of the LPSC at the following address: Records Division 602 N. 5th Street, 12th Floor Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Telephone: (225) 342-3157 Entergy Louisiana, LLC #166.22 06/30
