SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – City workers are again handing out water for those in need as leaks and low or no water pressure continues to plague Shreveport‘s water system following a deep freeze over the holiday weekend.
The city handed out more than 40 pallets of water in less than three hours Monday afternoon from the Shreveport Fire Maintenance Facility at 7300 Mansfield Road. Distribution resumed late Tuesday morning and is expected to continue until 5 p.m. while supplies last. The city says there is a limit of one case per vehicle.
Parts of the city are still experiencing little to no water pressure after frigid temperatures wreaked havoc on the city’s water system over the holiday weekend. A system-wide boil advisory issued Saturday remains in effect.
