The city of Carencro has officially lifted its boil water advisory, effective immediately. This decision follows thorough testing that confirmed the absence of contaminants in the local water supply, ensuring safety for residents and businesses.
The advisory was initially issued on March 4, 2024, after a drone inspection revealed a significant issue: a hole in the water tower tank where the handle connects to the tank. Maureen Guidry, the city’s billing supervisor, explained that the discovery prompted immediate action to safeguard public health.
After the advisory was enacted, officials conducted extensive water sampling throughout the city. The results indicated that the water met safety standards, leading to the decision to lift the advisory. Guidry emphasized that the city’s proactive measures were crucial in protecting the community during the inspection and testing phases.
Residents can now resume normal water usage without the need for boiling. City officials urge the public to stay informed about any future advisories and appreciate the community’s cooperation during this incident.
In light of these developments, the city continues to monitor the water system closely to prevent any similar issues in the future. Regular inspections and maintenance are now a priority for local authorities, reinforcing the commitment to providing safe drinking water for all residents.
