This power plant on Spruce Street is the source of a mist-like oil that began covering homes and cars in 2013.
The state Department of Environmental Quality released a report confirming neighbors’ complaints that one of the Sewerage & Water Board’s aged turbines is leaking oil and spewing it over their property, the latest in a series of hazards surrounding the Carrollton Power Plant, David Hammer reported on WWL-TV.
As the S&WB spends millions to fix the outdated equipment that runs the city’s critical drainage and water pumps, the continual equipment failures damage Carrollton-area neighbors’ quality of life. An agency spokeswoman told Hammer the S&WB will meet with neighbors and is working with its insurance company on property damage claims and with turbine maker GE to schedule diagnostic tests on Turbine 5.
The S&WB needs to be totally revamped.
Millions of $$ going into over paid supervisors.
NOLA infrastructure is a joke.
Our Governor has Millions if not more of a surplus to fix all the problems overall.
It’ll never change!!!
Sad situation NOLA
