Demand the New Orleans Sewage & Water Board Compensates Damages & Forgives Debt


Demand the New Orleans Sewage & Water Board Compensates Damages & Forgives Debt
The Issue
Hey New Orleans Sewage & Water Board quick question… WHERE'S OUR MONEY?!?
Six main breaks in six weeks is completely unacceptable, the working people of New Orleans deserve far better than persistent infrastructure failures caused by the SWB's utter neglect. This isn't a natural disaster, this is their fault and it is their responsibility to make it right. New Orleanians should not have to rely on private insurance to pick up the pieces caused by their astounding levels of dereliction. The blatant culture of corruption at the SWB cannot continue, we deserve pipes that don't periodically explode due to systemic lack of repairs. Y’know… the bare minimum.
That is why we demand complete compensation for anybody who experienced property damage in the flooding, and that includes those of us who rent as well as homeowners.
Along with that, we also demand complete debt forgiveness for any outstanding water bill debt incurred by affected individuals. We clearly aren't getting our money's worth, so we shouldn't be expected to pay for a service we never received.
However, we can't do this alone. Demands like this require a fight in order to win. We're calling on any and all New Orleans residents to sign this petition and put your voice behind these demands! When we fight, we win!
WE DEMAND PROPERTY DAMAGE COMPENSATION FOR HOMEOWNERS AND RENTERS & WATER BILL DEBT FORGIVENESS FOR EFFECTED INDIVIDUALS!
