Overview
- The advisory now spans much of the east bank, including Uptown, the CBD and parts of the French Quarter, with officials correcting an earlier map that erroneously included portions of Mid-City and adding Leonidas.
- Water pressure fell to roughly 20 psi in affected areas as crews work on an 88-year-old, 48-inch transmission main, with officials warning of several days of reduced pressure.
- NOLA Public Schools kept more than a dozen campuses closed Tuesday due to low pressure and the advisory, with the district monitoring guidance for a safe reopening.
- Businesses from Uptown to the French Quarter curtailed operations or switched to bottled water, while Ochsner Baptist reported all services operating after earlier low-pressure delays and brought in a water truck as a precaution.
- Crews halted visible street flow by 8:20 a.m. Monday, but flooding and roadway damage remained along S. Claiborne; the Sewerage & Water Board scheduled a midday Tuesday update on repairs and water quality.
