The water bill would be factored into my decision to take a promotion to nola or not. Seriously

Perm. You aren't going to get nowhere with this thread. 90% off the responses are based on a functioning water board.

Honestly, that would be a heavy factor. The city is a complete disfunctional shite hole. And now we get the new mayor who I’m sure will be fricking outstanding.

I've met two people who have actually done this.

Why not?

Someone’s gotta pay for those non-working pumps

266 was very high but I have a pool. So sometimes it can get that high.

They went through that. Lee had his story. Heads rolled.
Yet nothing is fixed.
The pumps use electricity that went out of use 90 years ago.
The city is just now getting it's first water tower to maintain pressure.

I've watched these bozos tear up a road, replace a pipe and fill with asphalt skipping the concrete.

You ever drive down a road in
New Orleans with a black ditch in the middle? thank the SWB.


Fire every single one.

Every employee.

Sorry. But it's the only fix.

Ebr sewage fees are a fricking ripoff too. But that's either thread.
I had a leak one month and they used the sewage rate for that month for the year.


Although it doesn't help you guys out one bit, I've had nothing but success with LAWCO. I had a leak at the connection to the house for a month or so, ended up running close to $200 on a bill that's usually $30.i called and they said I still had to pay for the water, but they credited me the sewage rate back since the water just went into the ground.

Our sewage and water bill is both based on water consumption.

We were double charged two months in a row. Paid $150 water bills. I challenged then and someone was sent to read our meter in OCTOBER. Our bills are back to $70 but when I inquire about getting refunded the $150 that they stole, I'm told that it takes time.

this thread just reminds me of why i hate Nola and will never live there if it stays on this path

i think my gf has designs on moving back to Nola some day and that's a 100% deal breaker

i'll go long distance before i give that city any of my money

*ETA: i mean in terms of taxes for residents... not companies in the city, etc
