New Orleans Water Board Takes City Control | New Orleans News

New Orleans’ Sewerage and Water Board is getting a major leadership overhaul starting August 1, shifting from state control to the City Council after a string of crises including flooding, pump failures, and a boil water advisory. Council leaders are calling for accountability, citing the agency’s $500K annual CEO salary—comparable to LSU football coaches—and demanding transparency over spending and contracts. With newfound authority, the council can now scrutinize finances in real time, not just during infrequent legislative sessions, aiming to restore public trust and deliver results for the city’s 130-year-old utility.
