Beginning at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, water service will be temporarily interrupted for customers living on Park Drive. Personnel are notifying approximately 28 impacted customers via door-to-door visits and door hangers.

Expected to last until approximately 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, the service interruption is necessary to complete a repair to a water main tie-in. Following the restoration of water service, in compliance with Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regulations, a temporary precautionary boil water advisory will be put in place for customers on the streets listed above.

The boil water advisory will likely last for about 24 hours. The City of Lake Charles will rescind the boil advisory upon notification from LDH that water samples collected and submitted for testing have met their water quality and safety requirements.

It is recommended that affected consumers disinfect their water before consuming it, including making ice, brushing teeth, using it for food preparation or rinsing foods by boiling the water for one full minute in a clean container. The recommended one minute starts following the water being brought to a rolling boil. This advisory will not affect showering or bathing.
