# Clean Water Task Force Meeting

The City of Shreveport Clean Water Task Force met to review and approve its final report for submission to the state by November 18. The meeting date is listed in the metadata as November 13, 2026; the chair identified the meeting as November 12. Members discussed the city water system’s condition, Safe Drinking Water Act compliance, public perceptions, aging infrastructure, and the report’s assessment of water-system grades. The task force approved a motion to send the report with revisions, including removing a comparison of taste-test results and describing grade improvement as an expectation rather than predicting a specific grade. No contract awards or vendor selections were discussed.

The report outlines proposed water-system improvements, including an approximately $45 million treatment project, $4 million for chemical-feed equipment, $100,000 for contamination monitoring at the Cross Lake intake, and $250,000 for an automatic flushing system. These are proposed projects, not procurement awards. The chair also cited about $20 million approved for the Amos plant in the 2024 bond issue and anticipated seeking approximately $30 million in state capital outlay next year, alongside possible federal loans and future utility bonds. Members noted that sewer consent-decree spending has constrained water-system investment and that funding remains a challenge.
