Show Notes
New Orleans residents and city council members express growing frustration over persistent water leaks from the Sewerage and Water Board, with reports of major leaks at Willow and Calhoun, Magazine Street, and Burgundy in the Lower Ninth Ward. The board acknowledges the issues but prioritizes repairs based on severity and ongoing transmission projects. Locals have been waiting for action since December, with some leaks remaining unfixed for over a year. The board maintains a master list of leaks and has replaced 115 miles of pipes, but 34% of the system is over 100 years old. The board promises to revisit sites soon, while council members push for quicker responses to alleviate citywide anxiety.
