TL;DR Summary

A water main break in East Bank Jefferson Parish has been repaired, but a boil-water advisory remains in effect. Water pressure is expected to return slowly throughout the day, with residents closest to the distribution center seeing it first. The aging infrastructure and recent weather are likely causes of the break, and the parish is working on 70 projects to update infrastructure. Many residents are still without water, and road closures and facility closures are in effect. The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is also affected, with restrooms and water fountains closed.
