Jefferson Parish crews restore water in Waggaman

Jefferson Parish restoring water for residents affected by water line break in Waggaman and Avondale

Crews worked throughout the night to make the repairs

Water is slowly being restored to families in Waggaman and Avondale following a water line break Wednesday night.

Jefferson Parish posted the following images on X Thursday night stating crews worked throughout the night making repairs.

WDSU spoke with one resident by phone who said they received a notice around 4 p.m. stating the issues were resolved.

No word yet if a boil water advisory will be put in place.

In a Facebook post published Wednesday night around 7 p.m., officials said "Residents in the Waggaman and Avondale areas from Avondale Garden Rd. to River Birch Landfill and Hwy 90 to River Rd. may experience low water pressure during the repair."

Around 9 p.m. Wednesday, WDSU received calls from several angry residents stating they had no water at all.

One caller said they weren't notified, adding that a Facebook post is not a good means of communication since not everyone uses it.

Scott Walker, Jefferson Parish Councilman At-Large, said crews are working as quickly as possible. The repair is expected to take several hours.
