re: Saltwater Intrusion Preparation

This will not be an “insurance event” because it’s excluded from coverage. Rust/Corrosion/Deterioration of your property is excluded in all Homeowners Insurance Policies. It’s also an “expected” event that would not happen if you turn off the water to the appliance.
Note: I also think these plumbers are full of it. This will not damage an appliance.

Those entities should absolutely be making preparations right now.
Of course if they do that, it will take additional pressure off of the municipal system.

I would imagine they are treating it like a boil water advisory that could last a month....yesterday on WWL there was a Corps guy saying that some hotels are just going to completly shutdown.
Some hospitals have potable water wells and tanks for emergencies
Restaurants will be the ones that will have to bring in clean ice and potable water

But they can barge in fresh water and dilute the salt by mixing the two making it a non issue.
I don't think you realize how much fresh water we are talking about.

I seem to remember hearing from a CHNO employee that they have a well on campus. I'm not sure about all the other hospitals in the morning area, but I'm almost positive Children's has a well.

I think the USACE is planning on barging 36 million gallons a day. There are also less developed plans to run a temporary pipeline from upstream communities to supplement the barged-in water, if necessary.

By having sodium ions from Sodium Chloride (salt) replace magnesium and calcium ions in your water. What does that leave in your home's plumbing? Lots of sodium ions.
Chlorides are what cause metal damage, and softeners don’t really add much in terms of chlorides.

The plan right now is to truck in water to keep chloride levels below 200ppm.
Hopper barges filled with water pumped from near the surface North of the Huey P Long Bridge. Trucking water would not be possible logistically.

Come on. Don’t add to the hysteria.
I’m going to have to get an “ ominous” sound track to listen to while I read all of this BS in this thread.

Hopper barges dont hold enough water,(537,000 usg at 14' draft), plus they are too unstable to carry water with all the sloshing around.
30k+ bbls clean tank barges can carry 1.2mm usg water. The plan is to transport the water via tank barges and unload into stationary hopper barges at each intake locations.
