GENTILLY RESILIENCE DISTRICT UPDATES

The Cantrell Administration continues to work with existing pump capacity by building additional storage around the city utilizing parks and vacant land, and by building innovative streetscaping to create temporary storage to hold rain during big weather events, allowing the pumps time to catch up.
