On Monday the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals confirmed the presence of the Naegleria fowleri amoeba in the Schriever Water System.
quote:
The site is located 588 Island Road in Montegut.
The water system, which serves approximately 97,000 residents in the Houma area, was tested by DHH as part of the state’s new public drinking water surveillance program. DHH notified the water system and local officials Monday afternoon. The Department asked the water system to conduct a 60-day chlorine burn to ensure that any remaining organisms in the system are eliminated.
quote:
DHH said the affected location did not meet the required chlorine levels set forth by the 2013 emergency rule at the location where the sample tested positive for the amoeba. A second site tested negative for the amoeba but also had below the required chlorine levels. Two other sites on the system tested negative for the amoeba and met the required chlorine levels.
