The City of Mansfield Water System is pleased to inform all residents and customers that the Boil Water Advisory previously issued on April 15, 2026 has been officially lifted.
This advisory was issued as a precautionary measure due to a 2” water service line break that caused low water pressure in some of the water distribution system. Since that time, the water system has taken all necessary corrective actions, including flushing and disinfection of the system.
Water samples collected from our distribution system have been tested by the Louisiana Department of Health and have been determined to be safe for consumption. These results confirm that the water meets all regulatory standards for public health and safety.
Therefore, it is no longer necessary to boil your water before use. You may resume normal water usage for drinking, cooking, bathing, and all other purposes.
The City of Mansfield appreciates your patience and cooperation during this advisory period. We remain committed to providing safe and reliable drinking water to all our customers.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the City of Mansfield Water Department at (318) 872-0406.
Sincerely,
Tarus Chatman Public Works Director City of Mansfield Water System
