Opelousas, LA, February 12, 2026 — The City of Opelousas is pleased to announce that
water service repairs on Heather Drive, which impacted the Park Vista area, have been
successfully completed.
Water samples have been collected and tested, and the Louisiana Department of Health
(LDH) has officially cleared the results. As such, the Boil Water Advisory is now lifted and
rescinded for all affected customers in the Park Vista area, including those along Heather
Drive from Jake Drive to the Bridge.
Residents and businesses may now resume normal use of their water for drinking,
cooking, and all other purposes without the need to boil.
We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our residents during this time and
commend our public works and water department crews for their quick response.
