Ituna under boil water advisory
The Town of Ituna in under an indefinite boil water advisory following work on its filtration system.
On Tuesday, the town declared water restrictions.
They are now hauling in treated water from Melville, Scully added.
“And anytime you do that the risk increases substantially that something could happen.” But he said there’s no reason to believe that the water is actually unsafe, only that there’s a potential it could become contaminated.
The advisory is causing inconvenience for local business owners.
“I don’t want people getting sick,” she said.
I just can’t.” Instead, she plans to drive to get jugs of water from Kelliher, about 25 minutes away.
And she’s finding other creative solutions.
“You’ve got to wash tomatoes, so I’m just not putting tomatoes on burgers,” she said.

Boil water advisory lifted for Venetian Isles area
A boil-water advisory was lifted Wednesday night (May 23) for the Venetian Isles area of New Orleans East, according to a notice issued just before 8 p.m. by the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board.
The advisory was issued Tuesday for areas to the east of Textron Marine & Land Systems on Chef Menteur Highway, including Venetian Isles, out of "an abundance of caution" following a drop in water pressure, Sewerage & Water Board officials said.
The state health department recommends issuing boil-water advisories when water-pressure levels dip below 15 pounds-per-square-inch, which occurred Tuesday in the Venetian Isles area due to a water main break in the 19700 block of Chef Menteur Highway.
The S&WB, in conjunction with the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, lifted the boil advisory Wednesday after bacteriological tests showed the water was safe to drink and could be used for personal needs, officials said.
Residents are advised to flush their internal and external plumbing by running water through the systems for several minutes.

Boil water notice issued for the Black Mountain Irrigation District
The Black Mountain Irrigation District has issued a boil water notice for all users on the water system.
The district says that the notice was issued because of a malfunction of a valve regulating the flow of treated water into the distribution system from Mission Creek.
The failure is preventing the valve from opening sufficiently to meet the increased demand from warm temperatures and increasing seasonal demand.
To maintain water supply to the district it is necessary to bypass the water treatment plant and use untreated water directly from Mission Creek, the district says.
advertisement The water quality in Mission Creek is particularly poor right now due to spring runoff.
During a boil water notice, tap water used for drinking, brushing teeth, or rinsing ready-to-eat-foods should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute.
The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice.
The location of the valve and the time it will take once it is repaired to refill reservoirs and flush out the distribution system with treated water will likely take about two weeks.
