by Richard Sharkey, originally posted on June 13, 2016
A water boil advisory is in effect in a section of the Natchitoches Water Works #1 Distribution System.
The advisory affects the area west of Interstate 49, according to a news release.
The water system is experiencing low pressure along La. Highway 6 West caused by contractor damage to service lines, the release said.
“Because of this drop in system pressure, the water within our water distribution system is of questionable microbiological quality,” the release said.
Until further notice, customers in the affected area should disinfect their water before consuming it.
To do so, boil water for five minutes in a clean container; or mix 30 drops of unscented liquid chlorine laundry bleach with one gallon of water and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before drinking.

LAKE WACCAMAW, NC (WECT) – The Division of Water Resources has advised that some consumers of the Lake Waccamaw Water System in Columbus County should boil all water for human consumption or use bottle water until further notice.

Boil water advisory in Ilion caused by power outage

UPDATE: The boil water advisory in the village of Ilion is likely to be lifted by Thursday, according to Ilion Mayor Terry Leonard.
Leonard said a fallen tree cut power to the water treatment plant on Elizabethtown Road. He says the issue has nothing to do with any previous water main breaks, and it is solely due to the power cutoff at the facility.
“Whenever we have trouble with water, water issues, we have to notify the Department of Health,” Leonard said. “We told them it was going to be a time before they could restore the electricity and the Department of Health advised us that we should go on the village-wide boil water advisory.”
The advisory will be lifted once test results indicate the water is safe.

Boil water advisory issued for city of Grayling
by Raphael Pires, originally posted on July 15, 2016
A boil water advisory could impact the city of Grayling for several days.
“Yeah we just know what to do when that happens,” said Bridget Harland, the Owner of Grayling Restaurant. “So we just kick it into gear and employees kick in and everybody just kind of lets everybody else know and we just do what needs to be done.”
Harland has posted the advisory on the front of her restaurant, and said it hasn’t effected her business at all.
“We were all worried if the coffee would be okay but we heard if it was boiled then it was good,” said Kim Diment, a resident of Grayling. “So we enjoyed our coffee and didn’t worry too much about it.”
The Grayling Department of Public Works said they noticed the water pressure was low Thursday morning for about 5 to 10 minutes.
According to regulation, if the pressure in the pipes ever reaches under 20 PSI, then there is the possibility for contamination. That’s when an advisory warning people to take precautions was sent out.
“We actually went out and bought pop and stuff like that and are just serving milk and boiling water for everybody for coffee and just taking the right precautions via the health department,” said Harland.”
But the owner of Goodale’s Bakery said he didn’t receive any information regarding the boil water notice from the city.
He said it was only when a customer walked in and asked him about the situation that he reached out to the city himself.
The city told him not to use his soda fountain and make sure that all dishes are washed with boiled water.
The DPW wants to remind people that the boil notice is only for water that is used for drinking or cooking, so it is safe for people to shower and wash their hands.
