The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans issued a precautionary boil water advisory for parts of Uptown on Thursday evening on Robert Street and South Claiborne Avenue. 

The affected areas include:

• South Claiborne Avenue from Calhoun Street to Robert Street
• Robert Street from South Claiborne Avenue to Mississippi River
• Mississippi River from Robert Street to Exposition Boulevard
• Exposition Boulevard from River to St. Charles Avenue 
• St. Charles Avenue from Exposition Boulevard to Calhoun Street

Tulane and Loyola Universities campuses are not affected by the boil water advisory, although off-campus residences lie in the affected zone. 

According to a post from SWBNO via X, formerly known as Twitter, crews completed a “temporary emergency repair” yesterday evening by “capping the water valve.” Crews will start permanent repairs this weekend.
