Boil-water order issued for New Orleans' east bank

NEW ORLEANS -- The most widespread boil-water order since Hurricane Katrina has been issued for the east bank of New Orleans, affecting more than 300,000 people.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports the order was issued around 2 a.m. Saturday after a brief power failure at a water purification plant. That caused a massive drop in water pressure for much of the area.

A water superintendent calls the advisory precautionary and says water quality isn't affected by the outage.

Electricity had been restored around midnight to the east bank Orleans Parish Water Purification Plant. Officials were hoping water pressure would be back to normal by dawn.

The boil-water order won't be lifted until the state Department of Health and Hospitals sees normal results in water quality tests.

2. It's a cover for the oil problems, kind of reminds me of close enounters of the 3rd kind

Tell everyone it was something else (like a chemical spill, et al) to cover up the truth.
