WATER/DRINKING WATER: Urges and requests the Department of Conservation and Energy and the Department of Environmental Quality to evaluate the water quality in the Shreveport vicinity and provide written recommendations regarding the safety for public use and consumption

This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy and the Department of Environmental Quality to assess the safety of drinking water in Shreveport. The request is driven by the city's recent failing water quality grades and concerns about aging infrastructure and past environmental violations. State agencies are asked to review the water system's condition and submit written recommendations to the House Committee by November 1, 2026, with a follow-up report due before the 2027 legislative session.
