RE: Backflow
Prevention Program
Dear Morgan
City Water Customer:
The City of Morgan
City, in complying
with Louisiana’s
Department
of Health and Hospitals
Backflow
Prevention requirements
for
Water Systems, is
updating our
cross-connection
control and backflow
prevention
program. The purpose
of the program
is to prevent
contaminants from
entering the drinking
water supply
by identifying
risks and taking
corrective action to
protect our drinking
water.
In order to comply
with the Louisiana
regulations,
it will be necessary
to conduct a brief
survey of the water
use on your property.
In most cases,
the survey process
should take approximately
15
minutes depending
on the size of
your facility. The
City’s contractor,
Backflow Prevention
Services LLC,
will be stopping by
at some point
during the next
few months to perform
the survey
and answer any
questions you may
have regarding the
City’s program.
The contractor’s
representative will
have the proper
credentials identifying
himself as
the City’s representative.
The City appreciates
your support
and cooperation
in this endeavor
so the City can
continue to supply
our customers
with clean, safe
drinking water.
Should you have
any questions regarding
this matter,
please contact
the City at 985-
385-1770.
