Overview
- A precautionary boil-water advisory remains in place for a defined Uptown area bounded by Carrollton Avenue, the I-10/Pontchartrain Expressway and the Mississippi River.
- Sewerage and Water Board crews isolated a break on a 48-inch transmission main near Carrollton Avenue and Panola Street and continued repairs Sunday.
- Water-quality testing will start once repairs finish, and state-administered results can take up to a day after samples are submitted.
- A sinkhole on Panola Street swallowed the front end of a car; NOPD and NOFD secured the scene, and no injuries have been reported.
- Residents are advised to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, cooking and brushing teeth, and officials said cold temperatures likely contributed to the break.
