NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A boil water advisory was issued for limited parts of New Orleans East on Wednesday, Dec. 18, following water main brake at Haney Drive and Hayne Boulevard. As a result of the main brake, water pressures fell below 20 PSI, and have since been restored.

Residents should also apply sanitizer to their hands if washing them from the tap, although bottled or boiled water is the safest option. The advisory will reportedly be rescinded once water sample tests confirm that the water is safe again. Results could take up to 24 hours to achieve and the SWBNO will inform the public when the advisory has been lifted. Anyone with more questions can call 504-529-2837.
