The advisory was issued as a precaution after ACUD #1 was notified by Assumption Parish Water Works of a drop in pressure in their distribution system.
According to the alert from Assumption Parish, there was a temporary drop in water pressure in the distribution system due to the extremely high number of water line breaks caused by the hard freeze.
The notice went on to state that the pressure will be restored as soon as possible.
Affected customers have been notified using the Code Red Emergency Alert System.
Any questions or concerns should be directed to the emergency line at 225-450-1078."

Boil water advisory for mobile home park lifted
A boil water advisory that had been in effect since shortly after New Year’s Day for the 620 customers of Village Green Mobile Home Park, 825 S. O’Brien St., Seymour, has been lifted.
The advisory was put into effect after the wells that supply water to the mobile home park ran dry, said Pat Fosbrink, the office manager of Natural Public Supply.
That utility supplies water to the park.
Boil water advisory in effect for St. John the Baptist Parish
A boil water advisory was issued late Wednesday (Jan. 17) for St. John the Baptist Parish due to a lack of pressure in the water system, according to parish officials.
The advisory, which remains in effect until further notice, covers the entire parish.
Parish officials said the system had "little to no pressure" late Wednesday, citing a combination of more than 100 isolated leaks, dripping faucets and excessive water use in taxing the parish’s water system, which can no longer keep up with demand.
The water system is expected to "catch up" overnight, but officials urged residents to continue to conserve water as much as possible, according to a statement posted to the parish government’s website and Facebook page.
Once water pressure is restored, residents should boil water for one minute before consuming the water or using it for cooking.
The advisory does not affect showering or bathing.
Officials reminded residents to protect exposed pipes, and to only let faucets drip as a last resort for preventing frozen pipes.
Earlier Wednesday night, parish officials urged residents to immediately stop all water usage amid concerns of a "total loss in water pressure."
St. John is one of several parishes struggling to contend with high water demand as icy temperatures drive up usage.
In Jefferson Parish, officials have asked residents to conserve water as the parish drops the system’s pressure.
St. John the Baptist Parish: Boil-water advisory in effect, conserve water
St. John the Baptist Parish residents are under a boil-water advisory and should cease all water system use, officials said.
"We anticipate water systems catching up overnight.
Please protect and heat pipes that are exposed," officials said.
In an earlier Facebook post, the parish asked residents to cease all water use to avoid complete loss of water pressure.
The parish will issue additional updates on Facebook.
Residents in the affected area are advised to not drink tap water or make ice with it until further notice.
Use caution when bathing infants and children.
Do not consume water or make ice with tap water.
Residents with immune systems that are compromised should take precautions.
