NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) — A 30-inch water main break has shut down part of Magnolia Street near the corner of Jackson Avenue, the Sewerage and Water Board said Wednesday.

Water was seen gushing up from under the street at the location.

The Sewerage and Water Board said water pressure in the area is lower than normal but remains stable.

A spokesperson said a boil water advisory does not appear to be necessary.
