New Orleans / Orleans Parish
Water pressure is expected to remain reduced through November 13 across parts of New Orleans while crews repair a transmission main, the Sewerage & Water Board said Friday.
The agency said water remains safe to consume and customers should not lose service entirely.
Affected areas include Gentilly, Marigny, Bywater and the Lower Ninth Ward east of St. Bernard Avenue, plus the Seventh Ward, Treme, French Quarter and Central Business District.
Repairs to the 48 inch main at Duels and Pauger streets began November 5. Crews found more extensive work was needed than anticipated.
Customers outside those areas experiencing low or no pressure should call 504 529 2837, select their language and press 1 for emergencies. SWBNO said further updates would follow.
