Tony Valentino Hornets on track to state title Rayville’s Camron Smith (#15), above, outmaneuvers Morris Jeff Community High School players on the way to a 130-56 victory in the quarter fi nals of the 2021 All- state Sugar Bowl/LHSAA Boys Basketball Tournament March 5. The win put the Hor- nets on track to play Franklin in the semifi nals March 10 at the Burton Colliseum in Lake Charles. A win there would place them in the state championship game March 12. Earlier in the week, Rayville’s Kashie Natt, right, helped lead Rayville’s scoring against Oakdale as the Hornets won the regional playoff game 109-57 March 2.

Mangham Water System Failed to Take Corrective Action Following Identification of Significant Deficiency

On February 28, 2020 the Louisiana Department of Health and (LDH) per- formed a detailed inspection and engineering evaluation of our water system called a sanitary survey. During this sanitary survey, they identified one or more significant deficiencies in our system. As our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situa- tion. According to EPA’s Ground Water Rule, we were required to correct the deficiency (or deficiencies) or work with the State to develop a plan to correct the deficiency (or deficiencies). However, we failed to correct the deficiency or contact the State before the established deadline and have therefore violated a requirement of the Ground Water Rule. What should I do? There is nothing you need to do. You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. If a situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink. You will be notified with 24 hours. What does this mean? This is not an emergency. If it had been an emergency, you would have been notified within 24 hours. This significant deficiency has the potential to result in lack of proper treatment and oversight of the water system. Inadequately treated or inadequately pro- tected water may contain disease causing organisms. These organisms can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, cramps, and associated head- aches. While we have not detected any evidence of contamination or other health threats related to our source water, we are still committed to correcting the deficiency to eliminate the threat of contamination. What was done? The Town of Mangham adopted an ordinance regarding Cross-connection control on May 16, 2017. During April - June 2020, Mangham evaluated each customer to determine the degree of hazard they pose to our water system. We now have policies and procedures in place for the annual testing/inspec- tion of those backflow prevention devices. If you would like more information on Cross-connections and backflow in pub- lic water systems, please contact town hall for a brochure. With the delivery of this public notice, we should be in compliance.

Please share this information with all other people who drink this water, espe- cially those who may not have received this notice directly(for example, peo- ple in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. For more information, please contact Town of Mangham, 318-248-2170, P. O.
