A. Services available upon request to the owners of individual private water supplies include technical advice, inspection of construction, water sampling (bacteriological), and evaluation of wells/springs/cisterns. These services are provided free of charge when program resources are available. In addition, sampling and analysis in the OPPHS laboratories for chemical or radiological contamination is available when in the determination of the OPPHS district engineer, a need exists. Such need may be evidenced by a physician's request or by the proximity of the water supply to a pollution source. Sampling and analysis in the OPPHS laboratories for biological contamination (including the coliform test) is available on request except when, in the judgement of the parish health unit's chief sanitarian repeat sampling would be redundant. Request for services by owners of individual private water supplies should be made to the local parish health unit.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 40;4, R.S. 40:5, R.S. 40:1141-1151, and 41 CFR 142 (B) .
