Calcasieu Parish Water District 7 Alerts Residents to Check for Water Leaks Amid Thawing Conditions Due to Water Supply Concerns

By Calcasieu Staff

Published January 22, 2025

Calcasieu Parish, LA – As temperatures began to rise today, officials from Calcasieu Parish Water District 7 observed a significant decline in water levels, particularly in the southern part of the district. This situation has raised concerns about the potential need to shut down the southern end of the water system to maintain an adequate supply for residents.

In light of these developments, district officials are urging homeowners and business owners to conduct thorough inspections of their properties for any water leaks. Water leaks can lead to unnecessary water loss and may further complicate the current water supply situation. Residents are advised to turn off their water at the meter if they discover a leak. Turning off the water helps conserve resources and assists the water company in regulating supply effectively.

For those unable to turn off their water at the meter, the water district is ready to provide assistance. Residents can contact the district through the following numbers: 337-786-5578, 337-794-6312, 337-513-6817, or 337-317-3186. District officials emphasize the importance of quick action to mitigate any further strain on the water supply.
