Earl Drive Boil Advisory Lifted
Water tests clean
Alexandria, La. (November 8, 2023)—The boil advisory issued Wednesday, November 1, 2023, for Earl Drive is now lifted. Repairs to a 6 inch water main made by COA personnel resulted in the need for a boil water advisory. The State of Louisiana has tested the water, and the results of the tests are clear, according to Assistant Water Superintendent Luis Saucier.
The Alexandria Water Department has lifted the boil advisory for businesses and residents located in the area described below:
All the properties along Earl Drive. (Please see attached detail map).

- Run drinking water fountains for one minute;
- Flush automatic icemakers (make three batches of ice and discard);
