Water Quality Snapshot: MANSFIELD WATER SYSTEM

MANSFIELD WATER SYSTEM is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 7,512 residents in MANSFIELD, Louisiana (De Soto Parish County) through 2,504 service connections. Its water is drawn from surface water sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 236 total violations for this system , of which 208 (88%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 7 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2025.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is TTHM, recorded in 100 violations (MCL, health-based). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 1 PFAS compound was detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 0.0035 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Louisiana, EPA tracks 1,234 public water systems serving 5,316,532 people, with 115,060 cumulative violations and 62,164 health-based violations on record. About 93% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 93.2 violations. MANSFIELD WATER SYSTEM's 236 violations sit above the Louisiana average.
