NEW ORLEANS — The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans and the Louisiana Department of Health has lifted a precautionary boil water advisory for a limited portion of New Orleans' Westbank, which included:

Entire lower coast of Algiers
Portion of Plaqueminues Parish
Upper portion of Algiers bounded by:
- Nolan Canal
- Silver Maple Court
- Tall Timbers Drive
- Tullis Drive

A map of the area currently under a precautionary boil water advisory is here.

Water pressures in the area fell below 20 pounds per square inch (psi) due to a broken water main near Silver Maple Court and Tall Timbers Drive, which required an emergency closure of a 12" water main that supplies water to the Lower Coast of Algiers.
