We all depend on it, but most people do not pay much attention to their drinking water, until they have a problem with it. In Louisiana there are approximately 1,300 public drinking water systems.
Many communities are served by old and inadequate water treatment systems that cannot appropriately treat all the chemicals present in the raw source water or the volume of water required by the customers. In addition, the distribution lines may be degraded and prone to leaks and breakage. These problems can impact your health and you need to know how to make sure you and your family are getting clean drinking water.
