The Boil Advisory that the New Hope / St. Clair water customers of the Chatham Water System has been under has now been lifted by the Louisiana Department of Health as of Tuesday, September 3rd.
The precautionary advisory had been put in place because of a break in the main line and electrical problems at the New Hope booster station causing a failure of the booster pump. Testing revealed no irregularities found.
“I am pleased to announce that the Boil Advisory has now been lifted and that the water has been deemed safe for consumption,” said Chatham Mayor Greg Harris. “I want to thank our residents for their patience and understanding while we rectified this situation.”
How do we get notifications for boil advisories? We are new to the area
Thank you!

Notifications are required to be posted in the official journal of the town or village. For Chatham, that is the Ruston Daily Leader but the Village of Chatham also submits boil advisories to the Jackson Parish Journal who publishes it on behalf of the community residents.
