The Mississippi River saltwater wedge threatening New Orleans-area water supplies has retreated more than five miles, marking another positive development after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced last week that the salt water creeping upriver wouldn’t arrive at local intakes until weeks after initial projections, if at all.
The wedge was at river mile 63.9 as of Monday, according to information available on the Corps website. It had reached River Mile 69.4, or about six miles south of Belle Chasse, as of Oct. 2.

How does a salt water wedge happen
Posted on 10/10/23 at 1:37 pm to DarthRebel
When river level gets low, salt water from the gulf starts to back fill the river and salt is heavier than fresh so it moves below the fresh water backward
If the fresh water levels rise, it can produce more volume to push the salt water out

My guess is it wont go bad and they can still drink it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Water actually has a BB date..
I'm sure it's still drinkable, just keep it out of the sun.
