Large water towers that can be seen from the street at the Carrollton Sewerage and Water Board plant may prevent boil water advisories in the future.
It was back in September when turbine Number 6 at the plant went offline.
“It caused a temporary loss of 60-cycle power, which resulted in the loss of water pressure across the East Bank of New Orleans,” says Paul Rainwater with the Emergency Management Team.
FEMA is now paying for a $50 million infrastructure investment known as the water hammer project.
It’s a project that was already underway when that boil water advisory happened earlier this year.
“In the event of a complete power loss like we experienced, these water towers will provide uninterrupted water pressure and water service to the city,” says Rainwater.
The project includes two new 200 foot tall water tanks that will hold 4 million gallons of water.
If there’s a complete power loss, the towers will provide uninterrupted water pressure for 40 minutes and service to the city.

The advisory was issued in late October after recent tests which indicated the presence of coliform bacteria in the water supply, a violation of drinking water standards.
The City of Lewistown said in a notice posted on its website: "Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation."
City officials said that seven samples were tested for the presence of coliform bacteria during October 2017.
Two of the samples showed the presence of total coliform bacteria.
The city provided the following information about the situation: What should I do?
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
Total coliform bacteria are generally not harmful themselves.
Usually, Coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the treatment or distribution system (pipes).Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present.
We are increasing sampling for coliform bacteria and investigating for the source of contamination.
We will inform you when our sampling shows that no bacteria are present.

As the boil advisory for Owensboro and surrounding areas continues, officials with Owensboro Municipal Utilities say it could be lifted this weekend.
OMU estimates the advisory may be lifted Sunday morning after system flushing and testing are done.
He, and many others, are adapting, buying bottled water where available — "I did stop this morning and get a couple of cases of water,” he says, he also ate at Bee-Bop’s, one of several Owensboro restaurants to reopen after closing yesterday.
"Gave them a note on Facebook to see if they were open, they said they were, so we decided to come on down,” he recalled.
Green River District Health Department workers checked restaurants before they opened.

Grocery stores like Hometown IGA stocked up on extra pallets of bottled water, to meet demand some managers say could be bigger than yesterday’s rush.
"Everybody come rushing in for the water, and as soon as we saw how bad it was, i started calling all of my suppliers and they started working with me quickly, and we got trucks coming in,” says store manager Rodney Johnson Sonya Dixon of OMU says two things that helped control the effects of the leak were the second water treatment plant just east of here and a valve system, which helped re-direct water from one plant to another.
