Water quality

Billions of dollars are spent each year to protect the quality of water people receive

(Grand Canyon University, 2015). Reviewing the local water quality report when posted each

year is important so that the city is help accountable for the results and upkeep. In 1972, The

Clean Water Act passed so that waterways and systems stayed clean (Grand Canyon University,

2015). The Safe Drinking Water Act followed the Clean Water Act and specifically protects

drinking water and the requirements of what the water contains or does not contain (Safe

Drinking Water Act, 2021). Further regulation on this end of the pollution potential is more vital

since consumed pathogenic organisms stand to cause a higher level of harm to any human life

which ingests it.

Walker Report

The yearly water quality report for Walker, Louisiana in 2020 shows the three local

sources of groundwater. Two areas were sampled for disinfection byproducts and the report

states that they are within normal range. The water quality report also goes on to list the several

source secondary contaminants as aluminum, iron, manganese, PH, and sulfate (Welcome to

Walker, Louisiana, n.d.). These were all collected on the same date and show to be within

normal range, though they are on the higher side of that range. The last test listed is the treated

secondary contaminants which stated that there were no detected results for the 2020 calendar

year. At the bottom of the report, the city of Walker asks that the community helps to conserve

and protect the water sources that provide clean water for everyone. This is a nice reminder that

water conservation is important and to be aware and practice in every home.
