NATCHITOCHES, La. -- A boil advisory is in place in parts of Natchitoches because of a water main break.

The affected areas include Keyser Avenue from Parkway to Village of St. Anne, including Masonic Drive, Martin Drive, and all of Chinquapin Village within the city.

The boil advisory is issued as a precaution.
