ALEXANDRIA, La. - Officials have released information on boil advisories and burn bans Friday.
A boil advisory was lifted in the Village of Plaucheville. Recently, a water line break prompted a boil advisory last week, but the test results are now back and the water is safe to use.
Meanwhile in Marksville, a boil advisory was issued Friday morning for residents in the Fifth Ward Water System on the following roads:
- Schoolhouse Road
- Moses Lane and from intersection of La. Hwy 1194
- La. Hwy 1 at the caution light to the intersection of Schoolhouse Road and La. Hwy 1194.
But Winn Parish will be under a burn ban next week. The ban affects all outdoor burning there.
It begins Monday morning at 8 a.m. and will be enforced until further notice.
If you're caught burning without permission, you could face a fine of $500 and 6 months in jail.
The ban does not apply to prescribed burns by the Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
