They can't do anything right it seems.
Maybe
Or probably the problem was fixing one piece of pipe meant the weakest link moved to another section of old corroded pipe which then broke.

Yes but there is a cost to treating 4x more water than needed
Cost, yeah. Just takes money.
Floc, chlorine and caustic aint running out of style.

So borrow the money and fix it all.
In Louisiana, in order for a local government agency to issue any bonds, they must get the approval of the state bond commission.
There is some drama between the state and the city right now, such that a bond might not get approved.
Also they need 8 billion.

I don't think the bond would ever get asked for. The repairs were in the making since at least the 60s.
Large steps have been made like the return of water towers. But the battle wont be solved by one time money being spent.

Not really. Especially for larger systems. A estimate of few years ago for BR Water was around 40%.
40% is 20% less than the 50% that he said was way too high. Plus that’s Baton Rouge, which is still subject to the South Louisiana incompetence in government factor.

Given that info, if the 70% number is accurate that is extremely alarming.
If NOLA is reporting 70% it's probably 85%.
