The Boil Water Advisory for the City of St. Martinville has been rescinded.
Calcasieu Waterworks District No. 5 of Wards 3 and 8 has issued a boil advisory, effective immediately, for Goodman Road north of Opelousas Street, Pine Shadows, Lake Fairway, Lake Caroline, Princess Anne, Queen Carter, Jumping Jack, Roberts Roost, Gordon Wood, and Presley Park. The advisory is being issued due to a water main break. It is recommended that all residents in the affected area disinfect their water before consuming it (including fountain drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation by boiling water for one full minute in a clean container. The one-minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil. The flat taste can be eliminated by shaking the water in a clean bottle, pouring it from one clean container to another, or by adding a small pinch of salt to each quart of water that is boiled. The district will rescind this boil advisory once it’s given the all-clear from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals’ Office of Public Health. Call 337-721-3754 with questions.
