Board Silent After Flood Report | New Orleans News
Description
New Orleans’ Sewerage and Water Board held its first meeting since the July 11 flood, with Executive Director Randy Hayman blaming human error at the Pritchard Pump Station for flooding Hollygrove—but the board’s silence afterward raised alarms. Zero questions were asked, a pattern analysts say reflects self-protective inertia among members appointed by the previous mayor. With hurricane season looming, critics warn the board must act decisively to ensure pump stations are ready. Mayor Helena Moreno, who missed the meeting, was briefed afterward, and a council member who attended a budget meeting said he’d already received updates. Hayman is scheduled to address City Council on July 22—hopefully bringing clearer answers for a city that can’t afford more surprises.
