Grand Isle and part of Barataria are under a boil water advisory until further notice.
According to Jefferson Parish officials, a broken water main caused a loss of pressure in the water distribution system for Grand Isle and the Privateer side of Barataria. As a result, residents of those areas are urged to boil their water for one minute before using.
Parish and state officials have taken water samples to test for bacteria infiltration. The advisory will be lifted only once authorities confirm the water is potable.
