NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A boil water advisory has been issued for a portion of New Orleans East on Tuesday, Jan. 30.

The advisory was issued after a water main broke near Downman Road and Hayne Boulevard.

Those in the affected areas should use bottled or boiled tap water to drink, cook, clean food or brush teeth.

Water should be brought to a rolling boil in a clean container for a full minute. If the water has a flat taste afterward, shake it in a bottle or pour it from one container to another.
