CATAHOULA PARISH – The Village of Sicily Island Water System is issuing a boil advisory effective immediately.

Officials say water pressure was lost while repairs were being made to the water system. Some customers may be experiencing very little to no water at this time.

Both the Village of Sicily Island and the construction company are working to restore water to all customers.

The boil advisory will remain in effect until it’s lifted by the Village of Sicily Island Water System. It’s recommended that all customers boil their water for one full minute in a clean container. The one minute starts after the water has been brought to a full rolling boil.

Again, customers should boil their water for one full minute before consuming it-this includes brushing your teeth.
