The 2023 letter grades for water system quality and performance posted this week. According to the LDH website, Act 98 of the 2021 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature authorized the Louisiana Department of Health Safe Drinking Water Program to develop a grade for community water system accountability. This would provide for the issuance of a letter grade reflective of community water system quality and performance. LDH determines letter grades based on 7 Standards evaluating the infrastructure, accountability, and overall health risk of drinking water to consumers.
The seven standards are:
• Federal Water Quality
• State Water Quality
• Financial Sustainability
• Operation and Maintenance
• Infrastructure
• Customer Satisfaction
• Secondary Contaminants (Iron and Manganese)
