PUBLIC NOTICE
October 10, 2018
The Town of Benton was notified this afternoon by the Department of Health and Hospitals that one of three water samples taken by the DHH at sites in the southern part of the Bossier City’s water system tested positive for the presence of Naegleria fowleri, also known as brain-eating amoeba. In concert with Bossier City’s Utilities Department, the Town of Benton will remain on a free chlorine flush of its entire water distribution system. The flush is being performed as a precautionary measure to eliminate any presence of the amoeba. The process is expected to last for about 60 days.
