PORT BARRE, La. (KLFY) – A portion of Port Barre is under a water boil advisory due to the water system being shut off in a localized area while part of the water line on Highway 190 in front of the Love’s Travel Center was being replaced.

Officials say the advisory only affects the following areas: North and South of Highway 190 within the corporate limits, Frisco and Bruner Streets and the mobile home park located behing the Thrifty Way Pharmacy off of Virginia Elizabeth Avenue.

The boil advisory will remain in effect until water samples are cleared by DHH.

Affected residents should bring their water to a rolling boil and leave it boil for one full minute before consumption.
