The Town has declared an emergency which will allow us to expedite repairs to our primary water well. The issue is with the well casing/lining—not the pumps—and there is no concern with drinking water quality.
Thanks to the Town's investment in our Utility Operating Reserve Fund, we are prepared to move forward with a fully funded solution: maintaining the emergency interconnection with Northpark Water System while relining the approximately 2,000-foot, 12-inch well with a new liner and grout system to restore long-term reliability.
While the well has been offline, the Town has used this time to perform scheduled maintenance on the water tower, including repainting both the interior and exterior. This work is expected to extend the life of the tower for years to come while protecting another critical piece of the Town's water infrastructure. By coordinating this maintenance during the well outage, the Town improved another essential asset without causing further disruptions to water service.
With our primary well out of service, the Town is currently operating on a single water source with reduced system pressure during periods of high demand. The emergency declaration allows repairs to begin immediately, returning our primary well to service as quickly as possible and strengthening the reliability and resilience of our water system.

Water System Update
The Town of Abita Springs has successfully opened the connection with Utilities Inc. of Louisiana (UIL) as of approximately 10:30 a.m. today. This connection is now supplying water to the Town’s distribution system.
Residents may notice temporary turbulence or slight discoloration as the system adjusts. During periods of high usage, residents may also notice slight changes in water pressure. This is normal and should clear as water moves through the lines.
We will continue to monitor the system closely and provide updates as needed.
Thank you for your patience.

Dear Residents,
The Town of Abita Springs will soon be connecting the entire municipal water system to our secondary water supply via the new connection to UIL (Utilities Inc. of Louisiana), providing a backup source of water for our system. Residents on the Town system may notice temporary water turbulence or discoloration during this connection.
This step is part of a planned inspection of the primary well, which will be temporarily shut down to assess its condition and ensure the long-term reliability of the Town’s water supply.
Water remains safe to use. Currently, there is no expectation of a precautionary boil water advisory, but in the unlikely event that water pressure drops, residents will be notified through our website, Facebook, email and signage.
⚠️ This work does not affect residents on private wells or non-Town water systems.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. For updates, visit https://www.townofabitasprings.com/abitawater.
Sincerely,
Town of Abita Springs
