S&WB issues boil water advisory for Uptown
|
From the Sewerage & Water Board
The Sewerage & Water Board, in consultation with the Louisiana Department of Health, issued a precautionary boil water advisory Thursday (Sept. 28) for a limited area of Uptown New Orleans, which includes:
South Claiborne Avenue from Calhoun Street to Robert Street
Robert from South Claiborne to the river
Mississippi River from Robert to Exposition Boulevard
Exposition Boulevard from the river to St. Charles Avenue
A map of the area currently under a precautionary boil water advisory is here. Water pressure in this area fell below 20 pounds per square inch (psi) due to the failure of a 30-inch water main valve. Sewerage & Water Board crews are onsite and repairs are underway.
