The Sewerage and Water Board has lifted a precautionary boil water advisory Sunday for the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
Tests confirmed water in the area was safe to drink and could be used for personal needs.
The S&WB is advising customers to flush their internal and external plumbing by running water through their system for several minutes.
Officials said water pressure dropped Saturday before 2 p.m. after a momentary loss of power to a water distribution pump at the Carrollton Water Plant.
It was stabilized, but not before causing pressure at a gauge in the Lower 9th Ward to register below 20 pounds per square inch.
