STATE OFFICE CLOSURE - INCLEMENT WEATHER
Commissioner of Administration Taylor Barras is announcing that all state offices in Cameron Parish will be closed Wednesday, June 17, 2026 and Thursday, June 18, 2026, due to the impending tropical storm.
All agency heads are responsible for determining those essential personnel who should remain on duty, report for duty, or those who should report to alternate work sites as necessary. Officials continue to monitor conditions throughout the state, and this announcement may be updated.
This office closure applies to all nonessential employees, including those authorized to work from home.
Louisiana and several other states have specific regulations designed to address potential food-safety concerns with bottled-water products. Bottled water includes drinking water, purified water, mineral water, sterile water, some kinds of carbonated water, artesian water, and spring water. It does not include soda water, tonic water, sparkling water, or seltzer water. Bottled water made or sold in Louisiana is required to be tested according to a specific schedule for a variety of potential biological, chemical, and radiological contaminants and must be from an approved ground- or surface water source.
This page is designed to provide specific information to those interested in either bottling water in the state of Louisiana for distribution in- or out-of-state or distributing bottled water manufactured out-of-state within the state of Louisiana. Bottled water is handled somewhat differently from other foods because water is a product that undergoes no additional processing (reheating, cooking, et cetera) prior to consumption.
