"Water Conservation Urged in Jefferson Parish Following Main Break"

The Jefferson Parish Water Department, in collaboration with the Louisiana Department of Health, has issued a boil water advisory for the east bank of Jefferson Parish following a major water line break outside the East Bank Water Treatment Plant, leading to a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Residents are advised to boil water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth, or to disinfect it with chlorine bleach. Those with compromised immune systems, infants, and the elderly are urged to seek advice from healthcare providers. The advisory will remain in effect until further notice, and regular updates can be obtained through the Jefferson Parish East Bank Water Treatment Plant or the Parish's social media channels.
