Continuing our infrastructure work during this trying time for our city is absolutely essential. Public safety is always our priority – with hurricane season on the horizon as well as deadlines for our FEMA and HUD dollars – we must push forward for as long as we safely and responsibly can.

Wallace C. Drennan crews, in collaboration with Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, are set to begin water line tie ins on the   Lower Ninth Ward Northwest Group B project.  Crews have completed water line installations on Reynes Street (N. Derbigny Street to Tonti Street) and are now ready to begin connecting those lines to the existing water supply. Residents will continue to be notified ahead of any work that will impact their access and utilities.
