Wednesday, workers carefully unloaded the new Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system at the Lee School Road Water Treatment Plant. This equipment will help resolve turbidity issues in the water treatment process, marking an important step forward in the installation timeline. The Electric Department was on-site during delivery to evaluate the system’s power needs, map out necessary upgrades, and quickly gather the materials needed to begin their part of the installation.
The City of Lafayette issued a boil water advisory Monday evening due to high amounts of particles in the water source at the Lee School Road Plant. The following areas should continue to boil water for one minute past a rolling boil until further notice:
East of Highway 27 bypass
South of 136 East, including the Naomi community
Highway 151
Corinth area
Hillcrest community
Walnut grove area
Old Trion Highway
The city says this has been an ongoing issue, and it will not be fixed until the end of this week at the earliest.
