NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A precautionary boil water advisory has been issue for parts of New Orleans East.

New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board officials said a fire hydrant was struck at the corner of Morrison Road and Lucerne Street causing water pressure to fall below 20 psi.

The advisory is for a limited portion of New Orleans East including:

  • Hayne Blvd from Paris Rd to Read Blvd

SWBNO crews are currently working to repair the break and said that water pressure has been restored in the area. Water quality samples have been collected for testing but results will take 24 hours.
