MUNICIPALITIES: To urge and request the village of Downsville to consolidate its municipal water system.
This resolution urges the village of Downsville to consolidate its municipal water system due to documented safety and health risks. It cites dangerously low water pressure that failed fire suppression tests at a local school (preventing sprinkler operation) and violations of Louisiana health standards for drinking water. The resolution emphasizes that these issues endanger public safety, including firefighting capabilities and contamination risks. It does not create new laws but formally requests the village government take action to address the water system's shortcomings.
