Walker Water (LA) Water Quality

Walker Water is a large public water system in EPA region 6 that provides tap water for the 70785 zip codes. It has 12 facilities where the water supply was tested for 69 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 0.26 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 96.7 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.0499 µg/L. Some (1 of 8 or 13%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the Walker Water water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
