Attention to our Loranger area customers that were previously on the Eastern Heights System. Unfortunately, the repair to the Sweetwater Well is still ongoing and will continue through Monday. Until the repair is completed, water outages and/or decreased water pressure are likely. Please avoid any unnecessary water usage to help prevent a complete outage. We have coordinated with the Parish to have bottled water available to the residents affected. Bottled water can be picked up at the Loranger Fire Station today from 4:00pm-6:00pm and daily through Monday from 8:00am-6:00pm. Customers will need to provide a water bill or proof of address when received. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation as we complete the necessary repair.

Loranger area customers of the Eastern Heights System; Highway 1054 south of Clement Road to Hwy 40 going into downtown Loranger; School Road and any roads connected.
On July 2, 2025, due to a well shaft issue with sediment in the water, the system is under a Boil Water Advisory as a precaution. The system is working on a solution to rectify the problem. Once the issue is resolved, Tangipahoa Water District will sample to clear the BWA.
All customers in the listed area should follow the Limited Precautionary Boil Advisory. Out of the abundance of caution and in accordance with the Louisiana Department of Health regulation, a limited precautionary boil advisory is in place.
This BOIL ADVISORY is to remain in effect until rescinded by Tangipahoa Water District. It is recommended that all customers disinfect their water before consuming it (including fountain drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using for food preparation or rinsing of food by the following means:
Boil water for {1} full minute in a clean container. The one-minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil. (The flat taste can be eliminated by shaking the water in a clean bottle, pouring it from one clean container to another, or by adding a small pinch of salt to each quart of water that is boiled.)
Tangipahoa Water District will rescind the Boil Advisory upon notification from the Louisiana Department of Health - Office of Public Health that additional water samples collected from our water supply system have shown our water to be safe.
Customers affected by this advisory will be advised when it is rescinded. Notices will be posted on the Tangipahoa Water District Website and social media sites. If you have any questions, please call Tangipahoa Water District at 985-345-6457.
