Boil Advisory Issued for the West Central Bossier Water System

Officials with the Bossier Parish Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No.1 (CWSD #1) issued a boil advisory for the West Central Bossier Water System after the water tank levels registered too low.

Officials issued the boil advisory after the contractor working on the groundwater storage tank cut an electrical line to the system that detects the water level. The line was immediately repaired but as a safety precaution officials with the CWSD #1 issued a boil advisory and collected water samples for testing.

The boil advisory is estimated to affect the Bossier Parish Security Complex and the residents who receive their water from the system, in the Plain Dealing area. The advisory will remain in effect until testing has been completed by the Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health in Shreveport.
