Mayor Adrian Perkins says the Department of Water and Sewerage says repairs at four sites have been completed. Work ended just before noon on the West Shreveport elevated tank and the Louisiana Department of Health has given its approval for water sampling to begin in that area.

Crews finished repairs on Thursday at the St. Vincent water tower, the Linwood water tank, and the elevated ground storage site at 70th and Pines Road. Water sampling began when the work was completed. Water Department staff collected samples though the night and once analyzed LDH could rescind the boil advisory for the other two zones.

In the meantime, the boil advisory remains in effect for those areas.
