NEW ORLEANS, LA — Today, the District E office was notified by residents of Chateau Carmel Apartments that they had been without water for more than 24 hours.

Upon receiving the report, the District E team immediately mobilized and arrived on site to assess the situation. The office quickly began coordinating efforts between property management and the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans to ensure repairs were addressed as urgently as possible.

Repairs are currently underway, and the issue is expected to be resolved within hours.

"We must do better for our residents,” said Councilman Hughes. “This is absolutely unacceptable, and I have expressed my deep dissatisfaction with both the property owners and the Sewerage and Water Board.”

Crews remain hard at work, and the District E office will continue to monitor the situation closely until water service is fully restored.
