St. Martinville – Only a few days after fixing a leak in an 8-inch water line that was losing nearly 400,000 gallons of water daily, the City of St. Martinville brought in a contractor to repair a broken 16inch main water line off of Aubrey Ozenne Road that led to the city’s water tower draining rapidly and a loss of water pressure citywide this week.

A citywide boil water advisory was issued as a result on Sunday morning, with the city ending the boil advisory on Monday after repairs were completed, city Facebook posts stated.
