The Boil Order Decade

Guys, it has been a heckuva weekend. Multiple building collapses, exploding water mains, democracy under threat (again).  It really feels like anything could happen.  Please somebody check the jaguar cage just in case.

But I don't think I've ever seen a double boil order.  That's new.

After lifting a boil water advisory early Monday morning for Uptown New Orleans, the Sewerage & Water Board has now reinstated it, officials said at 10:30 a.m., following another drop in water pressure.

The updated advisory from the S&WB did not state the cause of the second drop in pressure. On Saturday, a water main burst near the corner of Lowerline and Panola streets, flooding the streets as well as nearby yards and causing a drop in water pressure across large swaths of Uptown.
