JEFFERSON, La. — On Tuesday, January 18, the Jefferson Parish Water Department, in conjunction with the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), has lifted the Do Not Drink Order and the Boil Water Advisory for Grand Isle.

Nearly five months after Hurricane Ida hit Grand Isle, the Do Not Drink Order and Boil Water Advisory are being lifted based on chemical sampling and analysis of the bacteriological samples collected within the distribution system.
