Shreveport is still dealing with a water crisis. Crews have been working around the clock to get the problem fixed. A 42″ water main near the water plant on Cross Lake ruptured over the weekend. The break was under water, so crews have been busy installing a temporary bypass to the system.
What Areas Are Seeing Improvements?
• The airport area is seeing a significant pressure increase and is doing well. • Most local hospitals are reporting improvements and are near normal levels. • Pressure has also improved in west Shreveport.

Mayor Tom Arceneaux is hopeful the repairs will be made by Friday.
