PENDLETON WATER ASSOCIATION

PENDLETON WATER ASSOCIATION (PWSID LA1085046) is a cws water system drawing from a surface water source, regulated by the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. It serves approximately 2,634 people in Many, LA, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the Louisiana drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 205 total violations, with 205 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 5 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), Turbidity, Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM). Recorded violations span 2015–2025.

A historical violation does not necessarily describe current water quality, systems must notify customers and remediate, and monitoring-type violations often reflect reporting lapses rather than contamination. The most authoritative real-time source is the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
