A boil-water advisory is in effect for the east bank of Jefferson Parish.
The Louisiana Department of Health and the Jefferson Parish Water Department issued the precautionary measure in response to a loss of pressure in the distribution system because of power outages and surges at the water treatment plant.
The advisory is in effect until further notice.
East bank residents are advised to boil water before drinking, making ice, brushing their teeth, cooking, or washing dishes.
Bottled water can be used instead.
