BATON ROUGE, La. -- (Business Wire)
The Louisiana Department of Health Office of Public Health has recently
launched an online service which provides Louisianans easy access to
test privately owned water wells for biological contaminants.
This new service through the department’s Office of Public Health can be
accessed by visiting www.la.egov.com/ldh/privatewell/.
From there, citizens have the option to order water collection kits to
be returned for testing of biological contaminants or request a local
public health sanitarian to administer the test.
The service, provided by the OPH, creates the capability for users to
test their system by means of an efficient and user-friendly online
experience. Citizens can conveniently order testing kits using any major
credit card 24 hours per day, seven days per week and have them shipped
to their home.
The OPH states that nearly one out of every eight people in Louisiana
get their drinking water from privately owned domestic water wells and
the only way to know the quality and safety of water from private wells
is to have it tested. The department partnered with Louisiana
Interactive, a partner with Louisiana state government for digital
services, to offer this service online and recommends that all private
water wells be routinely inspected and tested for biological and
chemical contaminants each year.
The cost of this service ranges from $40.00 to $100.00. Options include
self-service, sanitarian service, approval request for loan letter, and
approval request for foster care providers.
This online service is not available to test for chemicals in private
water wells. Owners must still contact a private lab for this test. More
information can be found at www.ldh.la.gov.
