The New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board this morning announced the boil water advisory for parts of Mid-City, Gentilly, and New Orleans East has been lifted.
"Customers who have not used their water supply during this precautionary boil water advisory are advised to flush their internal and external plumbing by running water through their system for several minutes," the utility advised.
The Sewerage & Water Board issued the precautionary advisory Tuesday when water pressure fell below 20 psi while crews repaired a valve on a 50-inch water main.
Tests done on water samples taken after the pressure drop confirmed the water is safe to drink.
