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.
