The Bossier Parish Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1 (CWSD #1) wants to inform residents in the Dogwood Trail subdivision about a possible water service interruption starting today through Thursday.

The contractor working for CWSD # 1 has informed parish officials that the tie-ins on the water lines are scheduled to be completed this week. They say part of the tie-in process may involve shutting off the water to hundreds of homes in the area. If water pressure is lost for any period during the tie-ins, a mandatory boil advisory will be issued after the water service is restored. The boil advisory will affect residents living in the 8600 block of Dogwood Trail to the 9300 block of Dogwood Trail.

Residents are advised to:
• Boil tap water until it reaches a full rolling boil and continue boiling for at least one minute.
• Boil water even if it has been filtered.

Use boiled or bottled water for:
• Drinking
• Cooking
• Brushing teeth
• Preparing food

Water samples will be collected and submitted to the Louisiana Department of Health’s Office of Public Health in Shreveport for testing. The boil advisory will remain in place until officials confirm the water is safe for consumption.
