NEW ORLEANS — The Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans has canceled on Thursday a precautionary boil water advisory that was issued for large portions of the east bank and New Orleans East on Tuesday.
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 agency said the boil water advisory was in effect for the two areas bounded by these roads:
- Area 1 – Wright Rd, Lake Pontchartrain, Paris Ave, and I-10 in addition to the Oak Island Subdivision
- Area 2 – Industrial Canal, I-10, St. Bernard Ave, and Lake Pontchartrain
How to Boil Water Safely
Bring water to a rolling boil in a clean container for a full minute. If the water has a flat taste afterward, shake it in a bottle or pour it from one container to another.
