The Sewerage and Water Board New Orleans has lifted a precautionary boil advisory for parts of New Orleans East.
The areas that were under a boil advisory can now use their water:
- Hayne Blvd from Paris Rd to Read Blvd
- Paris Rd from Hayne Blvd to I-10 Service Rd
- I-10 Service Rd from Paris Rd to Read Blvd
- Read Blvd from I-10 Service Rd to Hayne Blvd
The S&WB says a valve failure at Chatelain Drive caused water pressure to drop for nearly five minutes, but has since been resolved and pressure back stable.
Officials are testing the water source for potential contaminants, and are urging people to boil their water for one full minute before consuming.
S&WB will send another notification once the boil order is lifted.
