A number of sewage pump stations in New Orleans are having power outages because of Hurricane Ida, raising the risk of sewer backups in homes
The Sewage and Water Board of New Orleans said Sunday that there are a number of sewage pump stations on both the East and West Banks of New Orleans currently experiencing power outages.
“This increases the potential for sewer backups in homes. We urge those residents who still have power to minimize wastewater leaving their homes by not running your dishwasher or washing clothes,” the board saidSWBNO said those stations will be out of service until Hurricane Ida passes and it is safe for SWBNO to make assessments.
“If you don't need to use water, don't use it for the moment. Okay, for the moment, you don't need to use water. Just be conservative with it,” Green said.
