MOREHOUSE PARISH, La.
(Jones McGinty Water System) – A boil advisory has been issued for The Jones McGinty Water System.
Customers are asked to boil their water for one full minute in a clean container before consuming it.
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.
Because of this problem the water supplied by our water system in this area is of questionable microbiological quality.
Therefore, as a precaution, the Jones McGinty Water System is issuing a BOIL ADVISORY effective immediately for all customers.
The BOIL ADVISORY is to remain in effect until rescinded by the Jones McGinty Water System.
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.
Again, please be sure to disinfect your own water prior to consumption until you have been advised otherwise.
Upon such notifications, the Jones McGinty Water System will then rescind the Boil Advisory and notify its customers that the water has been found to be safe.
