DELCAMBRE, La. (
KLFY) — Residents and businesses in Delcambre are being asked to boil their drinking water until further notice, officials said.
The Town of Delcambre issued a boil advisory Wednesday due to a broken water line on N. Central Street.
According to Delcambre Public Works Director Robert Esponge, about 250 people are affected by the advisory. The advisory affects residents and businesses on W. Church Street, N. Landry Street, N. Central Street, Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Adolph Street.
Boil advisories remain in place until fixes are made in the water lines and the Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) can perform tests on the water to ensure that no outside material, including soil and microbes, can be found in pressurized water. This is usually a 24-48 hour process, though at times, it can last longer. The boil advisory is lifted when the results from DHH show “all clear.”
