A boil-water advisory was lifted for the Venetian Isles area of New Orleans East Sunday evening (Aug. 5), according to the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans.
The advisory was announced Saturday morning while SW&B workers were replacing three leaking hydrants along a Chef Menteur Highway water line that serves all customers east of Industrial Parkway, including Textron and Venetian Isles.
Tests confirmed water in the area was safe to drink Sunday and could be used for personal needs, SW&B said in a news release shortly before 8:30 p.m.
However, residents in the Venetian Isles area are advised to flush their pipes by running water through their system for several minutes.
