Water boil advisory issued for small area in Bossier City
The City of Bossier City has issued a water boil advisory for a small area of Bossier City.
The advisory includes businesses along and adjacent to Doctors Drive and Landry Drive.
Utility construction on Shed Road will require turning down a valve on a water main.
The work is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. today and should take about four hours to complete.
Customers in the affected area will have low water pressure during this time thus the need for the water boil advisory.
The 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and recommends those in the affected area to boil their water for one minute before consuming it until the advisory is rescinded.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.

Ontario Town Supervisor Frank Robusto confirmed the order on his Facebook page: According to Robusto, the town was alerted to the issues after a low pressure alarm went off at the water treatment plant at 2200 Lake Road, leading to a search of miles of underground water pipes in order to find the cause.

Town of Ontario residents advised to boil water until further notice
Residents of the Town of Ontario are being advised to boil water for the next several days due to a major water leak early Sunday morning along Lake Road.
Ontario town supervisor Frank Robusto said on his Facebook page mid-morning that leak has been fixed, but the boil water advisory will remain in effect for the next few days as the system is flushed for possible contaminants.
"A low-pressure alarm sounded at the water treatment plant around 3 this morning.
The plant is staffed 24/7 and employees quickly responded to the alarm, tracing the cause to a water leak on Lake Road near (the) Ginna (nuclear power station)," Robusto said.
"We have miles and miles of underground water pipes, and the crew started physically inspecting each one (in the dark) to find the leak.
Any issues of contamination were not related to radiation from the Ginna plant, Robusto said.
Robusto suggests using boiled water for cooking, washing up and brushing teeth, while showering and bathing can continue as normal.
A state fact sheet has additional advice on Boil Water Notices.

Bottled water, boil orders, porta-potties: Southern Illinoisans respond to Rend Lake water crisis (copy)
When Rend Lake Conservancy District announced a break in 36-inch pipe Wednesday evening, municipalities throughout the system began water conservation measures.
Carterville Police Department said at about 2 p.m. that Rend Lake Conservancy District had notified the city water service would be partially restored by the end of the day.
Just before 2 p.m. Thursday, Marion Mayor Anthony Rinella signed an emergency declaration restricting the use of water in the city until further notice.
We will be at that point in a few hours,” Rinella said.
"As we speak, the pumps at our water plant have been turned off and the only water that is available to the city is that which is left in our elevated water storage tanks," he continues in the video.
"As that water is depleted, the pressure will be low on the system, and at some point in time, we will run out of water."
Herrin Mayor Steve Frattini said at 10:15 a.m. Thursday morning that the city had about 16 hours of water reserve remaining and asked residents to conserve water “in all possible ways.” Johnston City Water Department said Thursday evening that all residents would be without water.
The statement came hours after the Johnston City Police Department said on its Facebook page: "The water shortage is getting more severe by the hour."
Restaurants in Johnston City were shut down Thursday and the police asked residents to conserve water.
According to a statement from Superintendent Matt Donkin, school officials are boiling water and “conserving as best as we can.” The City of Carbondale issued a statement reminding residents in affected communities that it is unaffected and has a bulk fill station at the city’s water treatment plant.
Boil Water Advisory
The City of Portage la Prairie has issued a Boil Water Advisory for some areas of the city.
Superintendant of Public Works Brian Taylor.
"This is something that is a new requirement in provincial regulations," says Taylor.
"If any work is being done to a water main where the water is either shut off to customers or reduced below 20 PSI, you are required to deliver letters to the homeowners advising they boil water.
It’s not a Boil Water Order, it’s an advisory."
Taylor details how long the crews have been at work.
"They’re doing water main renewal and doing a lot of work around there," says Taylor.
"They’re turning water on and off, they’ve actually been working there for over a month."
Taylor notes residents can expect the work to be completed in approximately two weeks.
