The House Resolution establishes the Task Force on Southeast Louisiana Regional Water Purification Operations, aimed at assessing the feasibility of constructing a water purification facility to serve the parishes of Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, and St. Charles. This initiative arises from concerns about the quality of drinking water in these areas, particularly due to issues like saltwater intrusion. The task force is tasked with providing a comprehensive report by March 15, 2026, detailing findings and recommendations for the operation and management of the proposed facility, which could be developed through state legislation or intergovernmental agreements.

The task force will consist of appointed members from various local authorities, including the governor, the speaker of the House, and parish presidents, ensuring representation from each parish involved. The governor's appointee will serve as the chairman, while the speaker's appointee will be the vice chairman. The first meeting is to be convened by August 1, 2025, with all members appointed by July 1, 2025. The City Services Coalition will provide staff support, and the task force is encouraged to collaborate with state agencies to achieve its objectives.
