LIVINGSTON - A major water line was struck in the town of Livingston, leading all government buildings to be closed for several days, officials said. 

A water line was hit on Utah Street off Red Oak Road on Tuesday, the town of Livingston said. Officials on scene said they believed the cause was concrete collapsing on the water line.

Shortly after 4 p.m., the town said the break was under three inches of asphalt and two feet of soil. A machine was brought in to make a hole so the repair could happen. Officials said it could be a few more hours until the fix is finished. 

The Livingston Parish Government on social media said both wells that supply the entire town are affected. Residents experienced very low water pressure or a complete loss of water service until repairs are completed.

A boil water advisory was issued shortly after. On Thursday morning, it was lifted.
