2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 30 - Minerals, Oil, and Gas and Environmental Quality|§2392. Purpose

RS 2392 - Purpose The legislature hereby finds and declares that the use of potable water for nonpotable uses, including but not limited to cemeteries, golf courses, parks, highway landscaped areas, and industrial uses, is a waste of our most precious natural resource, which is an essential element for life. There is a need for a reliable source of water for uses that should not draw from the supply of potable water. With the proper investment and development of the necessary infrastructure, the creation of dependable reclaimed water resources will meet nonpotable needs and relieve stress on potable water resources. A drought-proof supply of water will assist industry and encourage economic development. In furtherance of the legislature's constitutional mandate to protect the natural resources of the state as provided in Article IX, Section 1 of the Constitution of Louisiana, there is hereby established the Louisiana Reclaimed Water Law. Acts 2003, No. 985, §1.

(c) The reclaimed water must be furnished to the user at a cost that is equal to or less than the cost of potable water, in accordance with R.S. 30:2396. (2) "Beneficial uses" means the technologically feasible uses of reclaimed water for domestic, municipal, industrial, agricultural, recreational, or therapeutic purposes. (3) "Reclaimed water" means water that, as a result of treatment of waste, is suitable for a direct beneficial use or a controlled use and that is therefore considered a valuable resource.
