新奥尔良水务局启动48英寸主水管紧急抢修 圣伯纳德大道以东多区水压下降至11月10日
新奥尔良污水与水务局11月5日宣布，当晚对Duels街与Pauger街路口的一条48英寸输水主管道进行紧急抢修，施工由Boh Bros公司承担。相关阀门于11月5日晚10时左右关闭，以查明抢修范围。
水务局表示，用户预计不会完全断水，但圣伯纳德大道（St Bernard Ave）以东地区水压将低于正常水平，受影响区域包括根蒂利（Gentilly）、马里尼（Marigny）、拜沃特（Bywater）与下九区（Lower Ninth Ward），新奥尔良东区也可能出现轻微水压下降。低水压状况可能持续到11月10日，届时将部署截流装置（linestop）。
居民如遇无水或水压过低，可拨打水务局电话504-52-WATER（504-529-2837）。（来源：新奥尔良污水与水务局）
New Orleans water board begins emergency repair on 48-inch main; lower pressure east of St. Bernard Avenue through November 10
The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans announced on November 5 that crews and contractor Boh Bros would begin an emergency repair that night on a 48-inch water transmission main at Duels and Pauger streets, closing valves at about 10 p.m. to determine the extent of the repairs.
Customers are not expected to lose water service entirely, but areas east of St. Bernard Avenue will see lower-than-normal pressure, including Gentilly, Marigny, Bywater and the Lower Ninth Ward; New Orleans East may see a slight reduction. The lower-pressure conditions may last through November 10, when a linestop is scheduled to be deployed.
Residents with no water or very low pressure can call the board at 504-52-WATER (504-529-2837). (Source: Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans)
