Show Notes
New Orleans City Council urges Sewerage and Water Board to develop a robust funding plan for replacing aging water pipes, estimated to cost over $2 billion. Council member Jason Hughes pushes for a strategy similar to Jefferson Parishs, as concerns grow over infrastructure issues and unequal water rates for schools and nonprofits. The board proposes higher rates for non-full-price payers to fund repairs, while already awarding a contract to replace lead pipes in schools and daycares with local skilled plumbers.
