BOSSIER CITY, La. - Water service has been restored in Bossier City and now a boil advisory is in place.
A major water outage was reported early Wednesday morning that left some areas without water and others with low pressure. About 12,000 customers were affected.
Bossier City spokesman Louis Johnson said crews found a break in a 42-inch water main that was causing the problem. The line is located between Benton Road and Airline Drive close to Shed Road.
Johnson said city crews are working to restore service as quickly as possible and will be offering regular updates.
The most affected areas included Shed, Swan, Tiburon and Stockwell roads, as well as most of East Texas to Interstate 20 and Interstate 220.
The boil advisory is for water customers who live in those areas. Water for drinking or cooking should be boiled for at least five minutes prior to use.
Country Place subdivision outside of the city is affected, too.
