Louisiana Standards for Water Works Construction, Operation and MaintenancePursuant to Act No. 292 of the Louisiana State Legislature, the Louisiana Standards for Water Works Construction, Operation and Maintenance Committee was formed to develop a new set of Louisiana-specific standards for the design, operation and maintenance of Louisiana’s water systems.To begin its work the Committee voted to start with the Ten State Standards Recommended Standards for Water Works and work off its main sections:Part 1 Submission of PlansPart 2 General Design

Part 3 Source Development

Part 4 Treatment

Part 5 Chemical Application

Part 6 Pumping Facilities

Part 7 Finished Water Storage

Part 8 Distribution System Piping and Appurtenances

Part 9 Waste Residuals

Part 10 Backflow Prevention

Part 11 Forward

To get feedback from the public, each committee member is spear heading a forum for each specific part. It is the Committee’s intent to solicit comments from interested parties in advance of the meeting at which the specific part is to be discussed and subsequently acted upon. The tentative meeting schedule with sections to be discussed can be found at www.dhh.la.gov/watercommittee

We will also distribute Ten States Standards to the interested parties across the State through their representative organizations. In addition to the mass distribution, webinars may be held and will be announced through these same representative organizations and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals Office of Public Health.

The Parts to be addressed during the November forum will be Parts 3 & 6. Interested persons are encouraged to prepare their comments and submit them no later than Tuesday, November 12 to watercommittee@la.gov with the specific part in the subject line (ex. Subj: Part 3: Source Development). All submitted emails, comments, and documents will be deemed “public records” pursuant to La. R.S. 44:1 et seq. Meetings/webinars will be held for each section. Locations and times will be announced.

Interested parties can also review Act 292 and follow the Committees efforts at: www.dhh.la.gov/watercommittee
