A week on from Hurricane Ida, many parishes in Louisiana are still without clean drinking water, and boil water notices remain in place.

Ida, which was the second-most damaging hurricane to hit Louisiana on record, left “catastrophic damage” and resulted in mass power and water outages across the state.

I reported last week on the list of Louisiana parishes that had boil water advisories in effect as of Wednesday, September 01.

Below is an updated list of parishes affected by boil water notices:

  • Jefferson Parish – An update yesterday, retweeted by Jefferson Parish city officials, suggested that the boil water advisory will last “perhaps until the end of the week”.
  • The City of Covington and St Tammany Parish has rescinded the following advisories:

** St. Joe Estates and Salvation Manor in Slidell – St. Joe Water System (PWS 1103184)
