Boil Advisory issued for Jones McGinty customers in Morehouse Parish
A boil advisory has been issued for Jones McGinty customers in Morehouse Parish.
According to a release, the company experienced a problem with the water on the Old Bonita Road 7/10s of miles north of the elevated tank.
Jones McGinty says there was a main leak that resulted in the loss of pressure to the entire water system and all customers of the system in Morehouse Parish.
Due to the main leak the water system says their water is at a questionable microbiological quality.
"It is recommended that all consumers disinfect their water before consuming it (including fountain drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation or rinsing of foods by the following means: Boil water for one (1) 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 water in a clean bottle or pouring it from one clean container to another.)
Again, please be sure to disinfect your own water prior to consumption until you have been advised otherwise."
