– (8/14/2018) The Bayou Macon Water System in Madison Parish has issued a boil advisory.
As a precaution, they are issuing a boil advisory.
The Bayou Macon Water System is experiencing problems with the water supply for the customers on Hwy 577 South of I20.
Therefore, as a precaution, the Bayou Macon Water System is issuing a BOIL ADVISORY effective immediately.
This BOIL ADVISORY is to remain in effect until rescinded by the Bayou Macon Water System.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 (l) 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 the water in a clean bottle or pouring it from one clean container to another, or by adding a pinch of salt to each quart of water that is boiled.)
Again, please be sure to disinfect your own water prior to consumption until you have been advised otherwise.
Upon such notification, the Bayou Macon Water System will then rescind the Boil Advisory and notify its customers that the water has been found to be safe.
