Emergency Declaration

BOIL ADVISORY

TOWN OF IOWA WATER SYSTEM

PWS ID# 1019026

January 18, 2025

For Immediate Release

The Town of Iowa Water system has experienced problems with our water supply system.

Railroad Avenue lost water and or water pressure due to repair on a 4-inch water main.

Because of this, the water produced by our water supply system is of questionable microbiological quality.

Therefore, as a precaution, the Town of Iowa Water System is issuing a BOIL ADVISORY effective immediately for Railroad Avenue.

This BOIL ADVISORY is to remain in effect until rescinded by the Water System.

It is recommended that consumers disinfect their water before consuming it (including fountain drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation or rinsing of foods by the following means:

Boil water for one (1) full minute in a clean container. The one-minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil. (The flat taste can be eliminated by shaking the water in a clean bottle, pouring it from one clean container to another, or by adding a small pinch of salt to each quart of water that is boiled.)

Again, please be sure to disinfect your own water prior to consumption until you have been advised otherwise.

The Town of Iowa Water System will rescind this Boil Advisory upon notification from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals – Office of Public Health that additional water samples collected from our water supply system have shown our water to be safe.
