Natchitoches, LA, to inspect homes for lead water pipes due to health grant, aiming to replace if found.
Natchitoches, LA, is set to inspect all homes for lead water pipes due to a grant from the Louisiana Department of Health. The project aims to replace lead lines at no cost to residents if found, as exposure to lead can cause neurological, cardiovascular, and immune system damage, particularly impacting children's development and behavior. Drinking water in Natchitoches already meets federal, state, and industry standards.
