The City of Shreveport Government has issued a voluntary boil advisory for the entire Shreveport Water System following a transmission main break and resulting loss of water pressure.

According to the city’s Water and Sewerage Department, residents are advised to boil water for one full minute at a rolling boil before consuming it, making ice, brushing teeth or preparing food.

The advisory will remain in effect until water samples are collected, tested and approved by the Louisiana Department of Health.

City officials said updates will be provided as they become available and encouraged residents to follow official City of Shreveport communication channels for accurate information.
