City of New Orleans contractor Wallace C. Drennan, in compliance with Sewerage and Water Board New Orleans and new guidelines in response to COVID-19, has paused all waterline tie-ins on the Lower Ninth Ward Northwest Group B project. Crews will continue to install the new water and drainage lines on Reynes Street, but none of the new utility lines will be tied to the existing water supply until further notice. Residents will continue to be notified ahead of any work that will impact their access and utilities.
