Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans has cancelled a boil water advisory for a broad swath of the City.
After consulting with the Louisiana Department of Health, bacteriological tests confirmed that water in the area was safe to drink and could be used for personal needs.
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.
Water samples from across the area have tested negative for contamination.
