NOW. RIGHT NOW AT SIX, THE SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD SAYS IT IS WORKING ON IMPROVEMENTS RIGHT NOW TO SAFETY AND COMMUNICATIONS, FOLLOWING LAST WEEK’S NEARLY PARISH WIDE BOIL WATER ADVISORY. IT COMES AS SOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HELD A MEETING TODAY DIVING DEEP INTO EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. WDSU REPORTER ELIZABETH KUEBEL LIVE AT CITY HALL WITH THE BIG CHANGES, THE SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD SAYS ARE NOW ON THE WAY AND TRAVERSE THOSE BIG CHANGES ARE COMING AFTER THE TOPIC DOMINATED CONVERSATION AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING HERE TODAY FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN AGAIN. I WILL NEVER, NEVER SECOND GUESS WHATEVER THEY DID THAT NIGHT. AND I KNOW THEY ALL FEEL TERRIBLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EVENTS THAT FOLLOWED. IN TERMS OF THE CALLING, THE BOIL WATER ADVISORY. BUT I SIT HERE AND TELL YOU THAT I WOULD HAVE DONE EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID THAT NIGHT. THE SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STANDING BY HIS EMPLOYEES AS THE AGENCY IS NOW ANNOUNCING CHANGES IN THE WAKE OF A SWEEPING BOIL WATER ADVISORY AND IT COMES AS WE LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT CAUSED AN EMPLOYEE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED DURING THE ORDEAL. THE SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD SAYS THE PRESSURE CHANGE WITHIN THE SYSTEM CAUSED A HATCH TO GO AIRBORNE, LEAVING HIM CRITICALLY HURT, WHICH IS WHY NOW, IN RESPONSE, THEY SAY THEY ARE ADDING MORE VENTILATION TO PREVENT THAT TYPE OF PRESSURE BUILD UP. LEADERS ALSO SAY THEY WILL UPDATE COMMUNICATIONS PROCEDURES AIMING TO SHARE INITIAL ADVISORY ANNOUNCEMENTS AS SOON AS THEY ARE AWARE OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS, SOMETHING COUNCIL MEMBERS HIGHLIGHTED. THE IMPORTANCE OF. WHAT WE DEALT WITH AS COUNCIL MEMBERS OVER THAT PERIOD WAS HOW DID A MYLAR BALLOON TAKE OUT THE SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD? AND THE REALITY IS THE MYLAR BALLOON DIDN’T TAKE OUT THE SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD. THERE WERE MECHANISMS IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THAT. A PERSON SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC INJURY THAT PREVENTED YOUR TEAM FROM NECESSARILY GETTING EVERYTHING DONE TIMELY TO AVOID IT. AND THE SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD SAYS THAT EMPLOYEE IS IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW RECOVERING. COUNCIL MEMBERS DID WISH HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY. REPORTIN
