A boil water advisory is in effect for residents along the 8200–8500 blocks of Highway 80 in Princeton after a water main break was discovered early this morning.

 

To complete emergency repairs, Bossier Parish Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1 temporarily shut off water service in the affected area. As a precaution, officials issued a boil advisory.

 

Residents should:

• Boil tap water for at least one minute before use.

• Use boiled or bottled water for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and food preparation.

 

Water samples will be tested by the Louisiana Department of Health. The advisory will remain in place until results confirm the water is safe.
