Built by Pittman Construction Company in 1981, these pumps drain water from Metairie (below sea level) into Lake Pontchartrain.
These pumps were turned off during Hurricane Katrina by the Parish President causing thousands of us to have storm surge water from Lake Pontchartrain flood our neighborhoods and our homes and costing billions of dollars to repair.
The Parish President is no longer in office but it has nothing to do with the pumps; in fact the people voted him back in after Katrina,dumb people.
