Install a point-of-use water filter for the tap this source feeds — Highland Public Library, Lafayette LA (2026-07-24)
The potability test at Highland Public Library, Lafayette LA flagged a contaminant. Install an NSF/ANSI-certified point-of-use filter on the tap or spigot this source feeds, sized to that contaminant, and confirm the fix with a retest. Standard: EPA Point-of-Use / Point-of-Entry (POU/POE) treatment device selection + NSF/ANSI 42/53/58 certified contaminant reduction; SDG 6.1 safely managed drinking water. Proof: before/after test readings + NSF/ANSI label photo + install date/next-service label + GPS waypoint — Real, Proven, One-of-one Method (NSF/ANSI-certified point-of-use water treatment install, sized to the contaminant the potability test found (lead/bacteria/nitrate/turbidity), per EPA POU/POE guidance and manufacturer instructions — assess->install->verify, ~60-180 min): 1. ASSESS: read the potability test result and pick an NSF/ANSI-certified device rated to reduce the specific contaminant flagged (lead/bacteria/nitrate/turbidity). 2. Shut off the local water supply and install the device at the point of use (or point of entry for a whole-building concern), following the manufacturer's instructions. 3. Flush and prime the new device per the manufacturer's start-up procedure before it is used for drinking water. 4. Post-install retest: run the same test the audit used and confirm the flagged contaminant is now below the safety threshold. 5. VERIFY: label the unit with the install date + next filter-change date, and leave the household/site a plain-language card explaining what it does and when to service it. Equipment: NSF/ANSI 42/53/58-certified filter or treatment unit matched to the flagged contaminant, basic plumbing hand tools (wrench, tubing cutter, Teflon tape) or a certified installer for a whole-building POE unit, test strips or a second lab sample kit for the post-install retest, GPS device / phone for the waypoint Done when: Device is NSF/ANSI-certified for the specific contaminant the test flagged; Post-install retest confirms the contaminant is below the safety threshold; Install date + next-service date labeled on the unit; No leaks at any fitting after a full flush cycle
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–180 minutes. Method of record: NSF/ANSI-certified point-of-use water treatment install, sized to the contaminant the potability test found (lead/bacteria/nitrate/turbidity), per EPA POU/POE guidance and manufacturer instructions — assess->install->verify
Bring
- NSF/ANSI 42/53/58-certified filter or treatment unit matched to the flagged contaminant
- basic plumbing hand tools (wrench, tubing cutter, Teflon tape) or a certified installer for a whole-building POE unit
- test strips or a second lab sample kit for the post-install retest
- GPS device / phone for the waypoint
Steps
- 1. ASSESS: read the potability test result and pick an NSF/ANSI-certified device rated to reduce the specific contaminant flagged (lead/bacteria/nitrate/turbidity).
- 2. Shut off the local water supply and install the device at the point of use (or point of entry for a whole-building concern), following the manufacturer's instructions.
- 3. Flush and prime the new device per the manufacturer's start-up procedure before it is used for drinking water.
- 4. Post-install retest: run the same test the audit used and confirm the flagged contaminant is now below the safety threshold.
- 5. VERIFY: label the unit with the install date + next filter-change date, and leave the household/site a plain-language card explaining what it does and when to service it.
If it does not match the plan
- Contaminant not reducible by a POU/POE device (e.g. a systemic municipal/utility issue) -> STOP, route to the water utility or local health department instead of installing.
- Lead result at or above the EPA action level from a whole-building source (not a single tap) -> a licensed plumber assesses point-of-entry treatment or service-line replacement; do not scope as DIY.
- Any active leak or supply-line damage found during install -> stop and route to a licensed plumber.
What counts as done
- Device is NSF/ANSI-certified for the specific contaminant the test flagged
- Post-install retest confirms the contaminant is below the safety threshold
- Install date + next-service date labeled on the unit
- No leaks at any fitting after a full flush cycle
