The entire City of Alexandria is under a boil advisory. The city is also asking residents to conserve water and use as little as possible until repairs are completed at the water pump stations.
The following is a joint statement that Q93 received from the City of Alexandria and the leadership of CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital and Rapides Regional Medical Center:
"Alexandria Mayor Jeffrey W, Hall, in conjunction with Rapides Regional Medical Center CEO Jason Cobb and CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital CEO Chris Karam, urges all Alexandria residents to limit their use of water until electric power can be fully restored to the water system pumps. The drop in water pressure from high use is causing critical challenges at both medical facilities. Thank you for your help as we get through this together Alexandria."
