NEW ORLEANS — The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans issued a precautionary boil water advisory for the Lower Coast of Algiers east of the Intercoastal Canal Bridge on Friday.
According to the SWBNO, a water main break within the English Turn subdivision has caused pressure to fall below 20 pounds per square inch.
Water pressure has been restored, but an advisory is in place until further notified.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to use bottled or boiled tap water to drink, cook, clean food or brush teeth until further notice. Residents with compromised immune systems should also use safe water to wash hands, shower or bathe.
Residents who are experiencing low or no water pressure should always call 504-52-WATER (504-529-2837) and choose your language option (1 for English) and press 1 for Emergencies.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
