The Bossier Parish Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1 (CWSD #1) has issued a boil water advisory for residents in Haughton who receive water from the Village Water System. This advisory will remain in effect over the holiday weekend.

Late Thursday evening, work crews repaired a water valve that blew out earlier today in the Sterling Ranch Subdivision. To complete the emergency repair, crews temporarily shut off the water service. As a precaution, officials issued a boil water advisory. The advisory affects homes from 1 Sterling Ranch Road to 86 Meadow Cove, as well as all of Eliga Street.

Boil water instructions:

• Bring tap water to a full rolling boil 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 sent to the Louisiana Department of Health’s Office of Public Health in Shreveport for testing. The advisory will remain in effect until test results confirm the water is safe to drink.
