Boil Advisory Issued for Dogwood Trail Subdivision

The Bossier Parish Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1 (CWSD #1) has announced a boil advisory for residents of the Dogwood Trail Subdivision, served by the Village Water System.

Earlier today, a contractor accidentally struck a marked water main in the 9100 block of Dogwood Trail. As a result, work crews had to shut off the water supply for approximately two hours to carry out necessary repairs. This disruption has led officials to issue a boil advisory affecting around 120 homes from Sterling Ranch Road to Bellevue Road.

Water samples will be collected and sent for testing tomorrow morning. Residents are advised to boil their water before consumption until the Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health in Shreveport, completes the required testing and confirms the water is safe for use.

Safety Tips for Boiling Water:

• Boiling Process: Bring tap water to a full rolling boil for at least one minute. At elevations above 6,500 feet, boil for three minutes
• Filtered Water: Boil tap water even if it has been filtered.
• Usage: Use boiled or bottled water for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and preparing food
