RE:
Advisory opinion regarding whether Catahoula Parish Sanitarians may take annual leave to provide compensated services for independent water systems in the state.
Facts:
Florence Hargis, Sanitarian Parish Manager for Harrisonburg states that Sanitarians statewide no longer have any duties associated with the testing of public water systems. Water systems are now responsible for taking their own samples and contracting a service provider for sampling to insure they meet the Environmental Protection Agency standard for safe drinking water. Sanitarians generally have experience in taking water samples as a part of their regular duties and can insure proper sampling. Water systems would like to continue to use their present Sanitarian and compensate them for the service.
Law:
Section 1113 of the Code prohibit a public servant from entering into any transaction that is under the supervision of the agency of the public servant.





Recommendations:
Adopt the proposed advisory opinion.

Assigned Attorney: Aneatra Boykin
