NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A precautionary boil water advisory has been issued for portions of New Orleans.

The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans has issued it for the following locations:

  • Milton St. – Paris Ave to London Canal
  • Paris Ave. – Milton to St Bernard/Broad
  • Broad Ave. (Lakeside) – St Bernard to London Canal
  • London Canal – Broad Ave. to Milton St.

This comes after the water pressure in that area dropped due to a valve closure during a repair.

Residents in the area are urged to use bottled water in the meantime or boil tap water.
