NEW ORLEANS – The Sewerage & Water Board is taking steps to prevent boil water advisories in New Orleans.
The S&WB will close a 48-inch water line to install piping as part of the $50 million Water Hammer Project.
The Water Hammer Project is meant to provide the city with a constant water supply in the event water pressure drops, forcing the city to issue a boil water advisory.
The project includes two new 200-foot tall water tanks that will hold 4 million gallons of water at the Carrollton Water Purification Plant.
Those towers can keep water pressure up for 40 minutes while providing continuous water service to the city if the power goes out, according to the S&WB.
The work will take place from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 and will include a controlled closure with S&WB employees constantly monitoring water pressure, according to the S&WB.
If there are any changes to your water during the construction, contact the S&WB at 504-529-2837.

The City of Santa Rosa Water Department has issued notices to customers in select areas advising them to stop drinking tap water due to recent damage to the water system resulting from the fires.
A total of 13 homes in Fountaingrove received the advisory notice after slightly elevated levels of contaminants were detected in two isolated areas.
The Department advised residents in these areas to not use the tap water for drinking and cooking until further notice.
Since the wildfires, the Water Department has increased water sampling beyond required regulations to closely monitor the integrity of the water system and ensure high-quality drinking water for residents.
The enhanced sampling identified the contamination, and confirmed that the contamination is isolated to two specific areas of Fountaingrove only.
To address the contaminations, Santa Rosa Water is flushing clean water through the system.
Those in the impacted area received the following recommendations: Do not drink your tap water – use only bottled water.
Do not try and treat the water yourself.
Because of the nature of the water contamination, boiling or disinfecting your water will not make it safe to drink.
