Wonder what is happening in this stretch. Too much pressure in and old line?

The pipe is supposed to stay closed, with all of the water on the inside.

They blame it on “subsidence”. That’s code for “Democrats”.

I’m sure the most competent and well qualified people are on top of this problem.

Teedy was too busy with Vappie’s pipe to worry about the water pipes.

But at least they got rid of those damned statues.

Fix one leak, puts stress on another bad section. Until they change out all the ancient piping it will continue to happen.

New Orleans is on borrowed time.
This is not me hating, this is the fact that we have tried to ignore Mother Nature and hydrology for 300 years.

That’s right adjacent to to Marsalis Park, the renamed Palmer Park. Landrieu had to take the successionist Palmer’s name from the park and give it to a black man.
I’d like to put my foot up Landrieu’s arse.

Missed that window when FEMA gave the city everything post Katarina. Having squandered that away the city is in ruins waiting in the Pels and Saints to leave to cement its status as a failed 3rd world example for historians .

I admire your ability to patrol every board on this site 24/7 just waiting to post this same comment every time.

Another lovely morning in Mogadishu..

If you have the ability to leave Orleans Parish (at the very least) or New Orleans altogether, you should seriously consider it.
The city's infrastructure is now showing its cards after decades of mismanagement in planning for the inevitable: Deferred Maintenance.
There are zero resources to address this and more of the drains, etc will start to crack and break.
These are not one-off situations. it's coming for the entire city grid.

Looks like Katrina. New Orleans pipes are beyond fricked. This director of SWB just said everything is fricked and have no way of being proactive of this.

New Orleans: First city in America with an Opera House
And last city in America with a working sewerage system.

Yes. And all the pipes in a particular area are probably about the same age / condition since they never replace pipes before they break.

Given the scope and the general speed of government funding, most of this work should have happened during the Landrieu years.
And yet that clown was named Biden’s Infrastructure Czar

Don’t worry - top people are working on this. So it doesn’t happen for another 30 days.

If enough people leave, will that reduce the amount of water needed and the pressure needed to deliver that water?
Or is the infrastructure so leaky that above ground use of water won't matter, because the leaks are well established.
Years ago I think they were mentions the huge volume of water lost each and every day. If the water is underground, is some of it undermining the levees?
