BOSSIER CITY, LA (KSLA) – Some residents who live in a part of west Bossier City may need to boil their water as a precaution after heavy machinery punctured a water line Thursday night.
According to Traci Landry, public information officer for Bossier City, a construction company struck a water line on Thompson Street near East Texas Street Thursday.
The repair was thought to only take a few hours, but a piece of the tool was still in the line and delayed the repair.
Crews were able to repair the line and restore water; however, some residents may experience low water pressure.
If you do, Landry says you can boil your water as a precaution.
If you live in the area and still have problems, you are urged to contact the city’s pubic works department.
