Shreveport city leaders say repairs to the major water main break near the Thomas L. Amiss Water Treatment Plant could cost the city between $1 million and $2 million, according to Mayor Tom Arceneaux. The massive break triggered a citywide voluntary boil advisory earlier this week and forced crews to work around the clock to stabilize the water system.
System Pressure Nearly Back to Normal
Brandon Snead, Director of Water and Sewerage for Shreveport, says the water system has largely recovered.Snead reacently told KEEL News that most residents are seeing normal pressure again.
“Everything looks great. We’ve stabilized the system. Everybody has resumed to pretty much normal pressure,”Snead said. “I would say more like 95% to 96%.”
Sneed said some higher elevation areas may still notice slightly lower pressure, but overall the system is operating normally again…
