The Levee Done Sprung a Leak!

On our way to the dog park, a section of the levee on the Mighty Mississippi where the dogs can run free with no leashes and swim in the river, Elaine & I came upon what appeared to be a geyser. It appeared that the levee had sprung a leak.

This dog kept body slammin' the geyser.

The Corps of Engineers is in the background.


The Levee Police called the Sewerage and Water Board and were told that they were already out there, dealing with the problem. As you can see, this was not the case.

This shot will give you an idea of high the geyser was pumping.

Check out the Leak!!!

Alas, the Sewerage and Water Board comes to the rescue.

Mystery? Sign from God? Failure of the Corps of Engineers? Nope, quite simple...the guy cutting grass ran over an exposed water main and ruptured it. Sorry, just another "normal" day in the Crescent City?
The Sewerage & Water Board's hi-tech fix of the pipe!
