"While we are flushing you may possibly experience lower pressure than normal and could have a tint in the water. If you use any water in your home during the posted flush times you may draw this water into your plumbing system. Toilets and hot water heaters have tanks that can keep this water around long after we are done. If you continue to have discoloration or cloudy water after the posted flush has ended, please let the cold water tap in your kitchen run for approximately 3-5 minutes. If the cold water in the kitchen is clear and the hot water and toilets still have a tint, they may require a brief flush. If any of these issues continue after the posted flush times, please call us at 225-925-2011."

MESSAGE FROM ENTERGY:
For your awareness, we're investigating a large number of gas odors in the Central Area. At this time, we do not believe the odors are from our system. The leak calls cover our territory, as well as the surrounding gas companies. I have spoken with the surrounding gas companies, and they are saying they are getting gas odor calls as well. We have dispatched several of our team members to investigate the calls that are from our service territory.
Our best guess at this time is that someone was transporting Mercaptan (the chemical that we inject into natural gas to give it the smell as natural gas is naturally odorless and had a leak on their vehicle. This would cause the widespread issues we're seeing.
UPDATE 4:50PM: After investigating, a leaking valve from a transportation vessel is suspected. No need to shelter in place; no danger identified.
🚨Smell of Natural Gas
🚨ATTENTION🚨
🚨Devall Road is closed between Hooper and Wood Creek
