PLAQUEMINES PARISH, La. — A boil water advisory is in effect for the Eastbank of Plaquemines Parish.

According to parish officials, the advisory includes Braithwaite and extends from the parish line to White Ditch.

The advisory was put into effect around 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 11. Officials say it was caused by a drop in water pressure due to a contractor breaking the main waterline. Crews are currently on site repairing the damage.

Everyone living in that area is advised to boil their water for at least one minute before consuming it.

Eyewitness news will update this story when the water has been declared safe for consumption.
