Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for a limited portion of New Orleans, which includes:
Milton St. – Paris Ave to London Canal
Paris Ave. – Milton to St Bernard/Broad
Broad Ave. (Lakeside) – St Bernard to London Canal
London Canal – Broad Ave. to Milton St.
Water pressures in this area fell below 20 pounds per square inch due to a valve closure during a repair.
SWBNO crews have restored water pressures.
SWBNO will notify residents once water quality testing has begun.
Customers in other areas of the city are not affected and do not need to boil their water.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to use bottled or boiled tap water to drink, cook, and clean food or brush teeth until further notice.
Residents with compromised immune systems should also use safe water to wash hands, shower or bathe.
