Dear Residents,

 

Water Leak Emergency Repair

 

This morning, Thursday, 7/18/2024, we are repairing a water leak on Poitevent Street. In order to make the repair, water will be shut off to the majority of homes in the immediate area to complete this emergency repair, including the North side of Cutter Place. This area is on the West side of Hwy. 59 and includes portions of the streets: Poitevent, Millar, Stire, Heintz, Orme, South, Finn and the North side of Cutter. (see map below)

 

When water is restored after the repair is complete, a precautionary boil water advisory will be issued out of an abundance of caution. If you live within these boundaries, please boil water until we can lift the advisory. Customers in the affected area should treat all water for drinking or culinary purposes by boiling water for one (1) minute in a clean container. (The one-minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil.)

 

Water samples will be collected and tested by the Louisiana Office of Public Health Laboratory. A precautionary boil water advisory will be in effect until rescinded by the Louisiana Department of Health and the Town of Abita Springs Water Department. We hope to be able to lift the advisory by Friday afternoon.

 

We appreciate your patience and understanding while our water supply personnel are working diligently to restore the system to normal operation as quickly as possible. It is our top priority that The Town of Abita Springs supply quality safe drinking water to all.
