A city-wide boil advisory could be lifted as early as today (Friday), according to Minden Public Works Director Tyler Wallace.
The advisory was put into place Tuesday when it was learned that recent wind had damaged the local water tower.

“High winds caused a cap to shift on the top,” Wallace said. “It blew an antenna over, as well. After it’s lifted, operations will be back to normal.”

By Thursday, repairs were complete. The city must now await testing by Louisiana Department of Health before the advisory is rescinded.

“We are still under the advisory, but hopefully, they will test and have us an answer by Friday,” Wallace said.

Webster Parish Journal will post the information as soon as the boil advisory is rescinded.
