Boil Water Advisories Issued Across New Orleans and Surrounding Areas Following Winter Storm

In the aftermath of a severe winter storm that brought record snowfall, several areas in and around New Orleans are currently under boil water advisories. St. Bernard Parish has lifted its advisories, while areas such as Gretna and multiple parishes, including Iberville and Jefferson, are requesting residents to conserve water due to significant strain on the water supply caused by freezing temperatures and water main breaks. The East Bank of New Orleans remains under boil advisories, prompting officials to encourage essential water use only. Local governments are urging residents to limit water usage and maintain water pressure through measures like dripping faucets at night. Overall, the New Orleans water system is reportedly in good condition, but precautionary boil notices remain in effect in various locations.
