Poydras Boil Water Advisory Issued for Two Streets May 6

St. Bernard Parish officials issued a boil water advisory on Wednesday, May 6, for parts of Poydras after water line work in the area. The precaution applies to residents and businesses on two specific stretches of road.

The advisory covers East St. Bernard Highway from Theresa Drive to Green Avenue and Saro Lane from Goodwill Street to Massicot Road. Those are the only locations named in the notice, giving people along those routes the clearest guidance on whether they are affected.

Officials tied the advisory to water line work, and they described the notice as precautionary. For anyone on East St. Bernard Highway between Theresa Drive and Green Avenue, or on Saro Lane between Goodwill Street and Massicot Road, the order changes how water from the tap should be handled until the parish lifts the notice.

The location list is narrow, which keeps the impact focused on a small part of Poydras rather than the wider parish. That matters for households and businesses outside those blocks, since the notice does not extend to the rest of the area named in the advisory.

St. Bernard Parish notice

The parish did not provide an end time or lifting criteria in the material available with the notice. That leaves the affected streets under the advisory until a further parish notice says otherwise.

For now, the practical takeaway is simple: people on the named stretches in Poydras should follow the advisory, and everyone else should check whether their address falls inside the listed boundaries before treating it as applicable.
