Officials: Five deaths reported in Louisiana from winter weather event

Gov. John Bel Edwards, Mayor Mitch Landrieu, Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni and other officials gathered for an update Thursday afternoon.

Low water pressure, leaking and busted pipes and other issues continue to be a problem as temperatures rise and the roads thaw.

Boil advisories are still in effect for the East Bank of Orleans and Jefferson parishes, St. John the Baptist Parish and Lafourche Parish.

Several school districts in the New Orleans metro area are remaining closed Friday because of water pressure issues.

Edwards and Landrieu said boil advisories will likely remain in effect for the next couple of days.

"We expect that everything will be back to normal by Monday," Edwards said.

Restrooms are mostly closed at Armstrong International Airport in Kenner, which is still experiencing low water pressure.

Both Ochsner hospitals in Jefferson Parish have secured alternate water sources so they are fully functional.

All bus and street car services have been restored in New Orleans.

Landrieu warned that leaking and busted pipes will continue to be a problem as temperatures rise. Residents are urged to check their pipes on their property.
