Louisiana's LDH Orders Shreveport to Address Water System Infrastructure Deficiencies
FLOW CONTROL
The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) has issued an administrative order requiring Shreveport to address infrastructure deficiencies in its water system. The city must repair flow meters, sensors, and actuators and provide standby power at pump facilities by April 2026.
A $4 million project is planned to replace a valve and repair pipes on the 24-inch transmission main at the Amiss Plant. This project is separate from the ongoing break in a 42-inch transmission line. LDH's order follows multiple deficiencies identified between 2021 and 2024.
