The city of Carencro has officially lifted its boil water advisory as of March 15, 2024. This decision comes after a thorough investigation revealed that the water supply is safe for consumption. The advisory was initially issued on March 11, 2024, when a drone inspection uncovered a hole in the water tower tank, specifically where the handle connects to the tank.
According to Maureen Guidry, the billing supervisor for Carencro, the city acted swiftly upon discovering the breach in the water tower. The advisory was intended to safeguard residents until water quality could be assured. Following the identification of the issue, the city conducted comprehensive water sampling and analysis.
The results of these tests have confirmed that there are no contaminants in the water supply. Guidry stated, “We are pleased to announce that the water quality is safe, and residents can resume normal usage without concerns.” The lifting of the advisory marks the end of a brief but critical period of precaution for the community.
Residents are advised to stay informed about any future updates regarding water quality and infrastructure changes. The city has assured its citizens that measures are in place to monitor the water supply consistently.
As Carencro moves forward, local officials emphasize the importance of infrastructure maintenance and public safety. This incident serves as a reminder of the necessity for regular inspections and proactive measures to ensure that essential services remain reliable and safe for all residents.
