I’m here and I know plenty. I know that the New Orleans area, all of S.E. Louisiana was a festering HOLE BEFORE Katrina and its a festering, contaminated HOLE waiting to slide into the Gulf now.
For a week the local news INSISTED that the amoeba was NOT in the parish water supply- then ...Woweee, lookee here, it’s in 4 places in the system! Think they’re telling you all now?? The infrastructure was destroyed by Katrina-and it was old before that. Pipes SUNK and broke and remain broken! Not for one second do I believe parish officials actually USE the cleansing chemicals they claim to- or else they use them infrequently to save money( which goes into official pockets). They do things on the cheap here-and corruption is normal. Then consider the incredible amount of chemicals from homes and businesses that leached into the soil when 10+ feet of water took a week or more to drain. Whole areas in St. Bernard had mutant sunflowers after Katrina, and several inches of soil had to be scraped off to make it ‘safe’ for people to live there.
I don’t trust the officials here AT ALL. I don’t trust New Orleans water or Jefferson parishes-anywhere in S.E. La. I don’t drink it and I’ve been using swim clamp thingies on my nose when showering. I don’t even put the water on my dogs heads when bathing them- I use bottled water.
Everything south of Lake Pontchatrain should be abandoned and left to the giant alligators and the hurricanes.But hey- come on down, tour Treme( bring your own toe tags), do a ‘fest’, and soak up the ‘ambience’ and the occasional killer germs and amoebas.

Been using bottled water for 12 years now, even for pets.
Really think the clowns in St. Bernard didn't chlorinate the water enough, probably due to someones incompetence.
