NEW ORLEANS — The Sewerage and Water Board says some residents might have low water pressure Wednesday night.
They're performing a test closure on a 50-inch transmission main. It services neighborhoods east of Elysian Fields including New Orleans East.
Crews will begin closing the valve at 8 p.m. The test water closure is expected to last about 4 hours. SW&B said the test will prep for a construction closure scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 25, pending the results of the test closure.
While the test closure and work are underway, crews will monitor water pressure throughout the city. If pressures dip below 20 psi, we will notify the public of the need for a precautionary boil water advisory.
Customers who are experiencing very low or no water pressure should call the Emergency Call Center at 504-52-WATER.
This is weather permitting.
