Opelousas, LA (July 8, 2025) — The City of Opelousas will conduct scheduled maintenance on the water distribution system beginning at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
The following areas will be impacted during the repair process:

Residents and businesses in these areas should anticipate low to no water pressure throughout the duration of the repair work. Crews are anticipated to complete all maintenance by the end of the day on Wednesday.
