Although this incident is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation -'The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) has determined that the presence of microbiological contaminants is a health concern at certain levels of exposure and rcquires the disinfection of drinking water to kill disease-causing organisms. Inadequately treated water may contain disease causing oganisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. These symptoms, however are not just associated with disease-causing organisms in drinking water, but also may be caused by number of factors other than your drinking water. LDH has set enforceable recquircments for treating drinking water to reduce the risk of these adverse health effects. Treatment such as filtering and disinfecting the water removes and 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. -We are required to monitor your water for the residual disinfectant level. This tells us whether we are effectively treating the water supply. During the compliance monitoring periods of (9/1/2022) through (9/30/2022), and (10/1/2022) through (10/31/2022); (11/1/2022) through (11/30/2022), Shady Oaks Mobile Home Park Water System failed to provide the minimum residual disinfectant level in the treated water supplied to customers.
