Calcasieu Waterworks District No. 8 of Wards 3 and 8 has issued a boil advisory, effective immediately for a portion of the district. The areas includes Frontage Road from Ledoux Road east to the end of the line; Parish Barn Road from Mark LeBleu Road south to Frontage Road. 

 The advisory is due to a water main break. 

 It is recommended that all residents in the affected area disinfect their water before consuming it (including fountain drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation by boiling water for one full minute in a clean container. The one-minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil. The flat taste can be eliminated by shaking the water in a clean bottle, pouring it from one clean container to another, or by adding a small pinch of salt to each quart of water that is boiled. 

 The district will rescind this boil advisory once it’s given the all-clear from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals’ Office of Public Health.
