Initial tests show samples of drinking water in Laughlin are meeting water-quality standards but officials want to conduct more tests before lifting an boil-water advisory that’s been in place since a water main break Saturday.
Big Bend Water District spokesman Bronson Mack said the advisory will remain in place Monday for Laughlin’s Casino Drive Corridor lined with hotel-casinos in the unincorporated town 90 minutes south of Las Vegas.
The broken pipe was repaired Saturday night.
Mack says there was no indication there was any contamination of the water but the water boil advisory was issued because a portion of supply lost all water pressure.

LAUGHLIN — A ghost-gray steam filled the kitchen of Joan Lee’s sushi restaurant, a side effect of a boil water order issued Saturday after a water main break in the heart of her small town.
Her six-year-old restaurant is about a half-mile south of the site of the water leak near Bruce Woodbury and Casino drives.
The break happened just before 1 p.m. Saturday in the unincorporated town about 90 minutes south of Las Vegas, flooding streets and leaving Laughlin’s resort corridor without water.
The medical marijuana dispensary is on the northwest corner of Bruce Woodbury and Casino.
Water service had been restored by Sunday morning, according to the Las Vegas Valley Water District, which operates and maintains facilities for the Big Bend Water District.
Businesses and residents are required to boil water or use bottled water for drinking and cooking until water quality is tested.
She planned to have at least two gallons of water boiling on the stove at all times until the order is lifted, she said.
“It was handled very well,” she told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Sunday.
The two are staying at the Aquarius resort, across the street from the break.
Since the order was issued, Linda Hatch said, the resort has provided guests with plenty of bottled water.

LAUGHLIN — A ghost-gray steam filled the small kitchen of Joan Lee’s sushi restaurant, a side effect of a boil water order issued Saturday after a water main exploded in the heart of the small town.
“They say boil water, we boil water,” said Lee, owner of Minato Sushi Bar & Korean BBQ.
Her modest 6-year-old restaurant sits about a half mile south of the site of the water break on Woodbury and Casino drives.

The medical marijuana dispensary is located on the northwest corner Bruce Woodbury and Casino drives.
Water service had been fully restored by Sunday morning, according to the Las Vegas Valley Water District, although the boil water order issued Saturday remained in effect.
Businesses and residents are required to boil water or use bottled water for drinking and cooking until water quality analyses are completed.
For tourists Linda and Larry Hatch, the boil water order had little to no impact on their weeklong trip.

Since the order was issued Saturday, Linda Hatch said, the resort has provided its guests with an abundance of bottled water.

(BOSSIER CITY,LA) – The City of Bossier City has issued a boil advisory for a small area of Bossier City.
The advisory is for residents along and adjacent to Debra Street and James Street.
Utility construction on Shed Road required a valve down to complete the work.
Repairs began at approximately 8:00 am this morning and were not expected to impact any of the surrounding customers.
Complications with the repairs required an extension of the valve down with customers experiencing low water pressure through 8:00 pm this evening.
Water pressure has been restored.
However, this advisory is a precautionary measure and recommends those in the affected area to boil their water for one minute before consuming it until the advisory is rescinded.
The advisory pertains only to water used for consumption.
Again the advisory is a precautionary measure and not a boil order.

It comes after one home in the town tested positive for E. coli.
On Wednesday, residents were notified, sending some, like Andrew Cartmill to the store for bottled water.
Mayor Gerarld Wise says neighboring homes tested negative for the bacteria.
“It’s an isolated situation,” Wise said.
“ A flyer handed out to residents says to boil all water for one minute and let cool before using.
That goes for washing dishes, brushing teeth, food preparation and more.

“It seems like we just got over an issue with the water shortage,” Cartmill said.
He says the home will be tested again Thursday, and it will take about 24 hours to get the results back from the state Health Department.
