Who is responsible for repairing leaks that occurred during the storm?
As is the usual practice, water leaks on private property are the responsibility of the property owner. Please check your property periodically for apparent water leaks make sure your water lines are secured to avoid unauthorized water usage on your meter. Effective August 1, 2005, we cannot adjust for water leaks on private property. However, an adjustment can be made for the sewer volume portion of the bill, with verification of repairs confirming that the wasted water was not returned to the sewer system. High bills resulting from a defect in the water meter or some other problem caused by the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans will be adjusted.
