Ville Platte Water Quality

Drinking water in Ville Platte, Louisiana is delivered through 5 EPA-regulated community water systems serving an estimated 20,972 people. Each system is tracked in the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires testing for regulated contaminants, consumer notification of violations, and publication of an annual Consumer Confidence Report.

The SDWIS record for Ville Platte shows 41 total violations across all 5 systems, of which 41 are health-based, meaning either a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) was exceeded or a required treatment technique was not followed. Contaminants cited in health-based violations include 0700, 5200, 8000, 3100. 2 TRI-reporting industrial facilities are also located within the city limits.

A past EPA violation does not mean the water is currently unsafe, utilities are required to notify customers and remediate under state primacy oversight. For current water-quality status and treatment practices, review your local utility's most recent Consumer Confidence Report or contact the Louisiana drinking water program. All records above reflect federal EPA SDWIS data and are not independently verified against state databases.
