A boil advisory has been issued for Lafayette residents
north of I-10.
According to the automated message I got, you need to boil water for one minute before drinking, washing fruit or food, brushing teeth, etc.
A number of communities are asking citizens to conserve water as many allow their faucets to drip in an effort to avoid pipes from freezing.
LUS tells us in a press release:
That the Boil Water Advisory is for residents and businesses in the areas north of I-10, south of Gendarme Road, west of Wilderness Trail and east of Janvier Road.
An increase in customer usage due to weather, water pressure has dropped significantly in this area.
