River Point Water System chlorine pump fixed, BWA lifted
The River Point Water System in Bossier Parish supplies potable water for 45 people in Southgate Mobile Home Park in Bossier City. Raw water is sourced via groundwater well into the Carrizo Aquifer, the well head located in watershed Region 1. Raw water is sanitized with chlorine and distributed to homes through fifteen connections.
Water samples taken Feb 18 and 19 tested positive for coliform in both the raw and finished water, prompting a boil water advisory for all residents on the Southgate MHP system.
WT contacted the water system owner for more information. According to Mr. Ganey, a problem with the chlorine pump has been corrected and the water is testing safe once again, the boil water order is over and done.
Official water sampling results from Feb 24 are not yet posted to the LDOH public drinking water database as of this report.

Public water systems provide water for human consumption to at least 15 service connections or 25 average people per day for at least 60 days per year.
The Safe Drinking Water Act protects public health through the administration and delivery of quality drinking water supplies across the USA. The US EPA establishes standards for drinking water, monitors and enforces treatment techniques for surface water and groundwater, sets maximum limits for around 100 contaminants ensuring public disclosure of deviations and discrepancies.
WaterToday opens the record books of the federal drinking water regulator to bring awareness to the local raw water supply and the compliance record of licensed water treatment facilities. The Louisiana Department of Health administers oversight to 1,263 private and municipal water utilities in Louisiana. See the front page map for drinking water advisories, as they arise.
