water safety

About 15% of Louisiana's community water systems earned failing or just barely passing grades for safety. Did your town's water make the grade?

The nationwide event set for Thursday seeks to promote water safety among all ages. Louisiana currently ranks 4th for drownings per capita nationwide.

Since May is National Water Safety month the Louisiana Department of Health has issued a warning to parents and families to stay aware of the many precautions they can take to prevent child drownings.

The highway he is attempting to jump appears to be about 35-40 feet wide, and a nice crowd has gathered to await his fate.

A recent visit to the post office sent me into concern about a letter from St. Mary Parish Waterworks District No. 5. The letter started off, "The St. Mary Parish Water District 5 water supply is in violation." Being from that area and having property there now since the passing of my parents, I was somewhat alarmed.

Tragically, Grand Isle has reported two drownings since Sunday.
