BATON ROUGE, La. The Cadeville Water District in Ouachita Parish has received a $1.9 million loan from the Louisiana Department of Health’s Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund Program to improve the quality of drinking water for area water customers.
Cadeville Water District President Barry Turner said the funds are being used to construct a water treatment system, a large-capacity ground storage tank, a booster station, and site piping and fencing on recently purchased property along Highway 546. The district recently spent more than $500,000 of self-generated revenue to dig a new well at the site. The well was successfully completed last year.
