MELVILLE, La. – The Town of Melville Water System has issued a precautionary boil advisory.

The system suffered a loss of pressure due to power loss during the storm Saturday night; however, this issue has been resolved. Therefore, as a precaution, the Town of Melville Water System is issuing a boil advisory, effective immediately. This boil advisory is to remain in effect until rescinded by the Town of Melville.

Boil water for one full minute in a clean container.

The Town of Melville Water System will cancel this boil advisory upon notification from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals that samples collected from the water supply system have shown the water is safe to consume without additional disinfection.
