St. Tammany Parish - River Oaks · PWS ID LA1103180 · 2025 water quality report
Here is your system: whole-home carbon for the chlorine at every tap, plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink for the water you drink, cook with, and freeze. It is the setup we put in most homes on this water, and it earns its keep every single day.
River Oaks covers more than one phase, and the numbers on this page are confirmed for one phase only. We confirm your address against the system that actually serves it before we quote anything, and we do not apply these numbers to every River Oaks address.
Your water arrives with chlorine in it, at 1.7 parts per million. That is the disinfectant St. Tammany Parish - River Oaks uses, and it is the taste people notice in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Carbon takes it out at every tap in the house.
The white film on glasses and fixtures is the dissolved minerals the water carries, including sodium at 101 milligrams per liter and a pH of 8.67, drying wherever the water evaporates. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink gives you clean drinking water, clear ice, and spot-free glasses at that tap.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from River Oaks Well 001. Chlorine byproducts read at 33 ppb in the published report, within the federal limit of 80. Whole-home carbon reduces them, which is one more reason the carbon tank earns its place here.
Tell us your address and we pull the report for the system that actually serves it, then put the recommendation and the price in writing before any work starts. A licensed plumber does the install.
