The Jefferson Parish Water Department, in coordination with the Louisiana Department of Health, issued a precautionary Boil Water Advisory for the Cheniere side of Grand Isle.

Key details from the alert:

  • Cause: The advisory was triggered by a loss of water pressure in the local distribution system, which can allow contaminants to enter the water supply.

  • What residents must do: Customers in the affected area are advised not to drink the water without boiling or disinfecting it first. Boiled, disinfected, or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food.

  • How to boil safely: Bring water to a rolling boil in a clean container for one full minute. Alternatively, mix 1/8 teaspoon of unscented liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of water and allow it to stand for at least 30 minutes before consuming.

  • Vulnerable groups: Infants, some elderly individuals, and people with severely compromised immune systems face higher risks and should consult health care providers regarding drinking water.

  • Duration: The advisory remains in effect until repairs are complete and bacteriological laboratory testing confirms that the water meets potable standards and is safe to consume.
