Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO), in consultation with the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), has canceled the precautionary boil water advisory as bacteriological tests confirmed that water in the area was safe to drink and could be used for personal needs. The advisory was in effect for the Lower 9th Ward and surrounding neighborhoods which included:
 

-Florida Avenue from Inner Harbor Navigation Canal to the parish line 
-Parish line from Florida Avenue to the Mississippi River
-The Mississippi River from the parish line to the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal 
-Inner Harbor Navigation Canal from the Mississippi River to Florida Avenue
 

Water pressures in this area fell below 20 pounds per square inch (psi) while crews performed a test closure to assess repairs to a 48-inch water main on Florida Ave. Repairs will still need to be made at a later date after additional water valve repairs are completed to get a better water closure.
