JP Boil Water Advisory
Posted on 1/24/24 at 9:01 am
Posted on 1/24/24 at 9:01 am
Let’s put the fact that we live in a third world country aside for the minute. Real question here. What’s the reasoning that it takes at minimum 24 hours to get the testing back to lift the advisory? I’m assuming it has something to do with the water being flushed through the entire system and not that the test actually takes 24 hours?

Because if it yellow you let it mellow but if it is brown you send it down.

No advisory here in Teedy land!

Pretty shameful of JP to let Orleans one up them with their running water with this latest disaster

Got into Moisant late last night.
It* was a wonderful look for anyone coming into NOLA.
“Welcome to the Third World in the USA!”
*Trash bags taped over wall water fountains, MSY employees sitting in chairs blocking access to the restrooms, relying on the aircrew to be the singular source of information….
tl/dr: shite hole doing shite hole things.
Surprising?
yes [NO]

Because the test takes that long to run.

It is pretty disgraceful that JP has this problem fairly often with as much money as this Parish Government has. It’s a fricking joke, honestly.

Seriously? What type of tests take that long? How hard is it to take some samples under a microscope and see what the frick is in the water?
Businesses should file a class action lawsuit against the Parish for having to shut down for essentially a full week over the last year for the government’s incompetence. They’ve lost 2% of their revenue in the last year.

My in laws live in Harahan and they woke up to ZERO water this morning.

Fecal coliform test

In 2024, with all our technology, it takes 24 hours to figure out if our water is safe to drink?
Also
This is what we’re being told to do.

Disinfect the water by mixing 1/8 teaspoon of unscented, liquid chlorine laundry bleach with one gallon of water and letting it stand for at least 30 minutes prior to consumption. Mix it thoroughly.

At work with no water. Getting orders early and heading home to the Land of Flushing Toilets soon.

A water main busted under Jefferson Hwy and destroyed the brand new pavement they put down recently. So not only is there a boil water advisory, the lanes are shut down too

It’s the only approved test, I’m sure qPCR will take over eventually and speed up the process.

I think they have to give the bacteria time to grow so they can see enough of it under the microscope.
I could be wrong.

I chose JP over Orleans to avoid (or at least minimize) these things but we've had two boil water advisories in the 6 months I've lived here.
Posted on 1/24/24 at 9:41 am to BigPerm30
All I know is that I had just enough water pressure this morning to take the world's worst shower.
Posted on 1/24/24 at 9:42 am to BigPerm30
Before you even both pulling the sample, need to get the pressure up for a bit. Then I think there is only one lab in the state, in BR, that does this, so gotta get the sample to BR to run it, then gotta run the tests, analyze the tests, etc.
Sometimes, pipes break. It happens. They break everywhere.

Sewage and Water Board still wouldn’t have found their break yet and would sitting around with their thumbs up their asses..
JP took care of this as quickly as possible.

The water main is repaired - a ~20' section of 20" pipe, originally laid in the 1940s. The water was cut off completely about 1:00a. Apparently, the logic being that the repair work could take place quicker and water pressure was already very low. Pipe repair completed and started to repressurize the system around 6:00a. They have to pressurize slowly to avoid additional beaks further down the line.
The traffic issue is problematic. They're still breaking the existing asphalt and the new asphalt can't be laid in the rain. They're hoping they can get one lane laid and sealed before the rain starts. If they're unable to get to it pretty quickly, it might be Saturday before the rain stops.
