KILLIAN, La. (BRPROUD) — The Livingston Parish Government is asking Killian residents to conserve water after a water system failure in the town.
A declaration of emergency was issued in Killian on Tuesday, April 23. Livingston Parish officials said work began to determine the cause of the water well equipment failure on Wednesday, May 1.
