Lower Dulac residents no longer have to boil their tap water before drinking it.

Terrebonne Parish Waterworks officials say the boil-water advisory enacted Thursday afternoon has been lifted after tests showed the water is safe to drink.

The advisory was enacted after damage to a fire hydrant caused water pressure in the area to drop. It had applied to areas south of 7500 Shrimpers Row and 7603 Grand Caillou Road.
