New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell Saturday afternoon offered an update on multiple issues the city has faced over the past day and a half.
Mid day Friday, city officials discovered a cyber-intrusion and ordered all city workers to shut down their computers.
"There is no evidence of personal data being lost at this time. Credentials were compromised," Cantrell acknowledged.
"4,000 computers that will need to be scrubbed, 400 servers affected," Cantrell detailed. "About 7,000 terabytes of data."
City officials say the cyber attack did not affect public safety systems.
The Sewerage & Water Board had an eventful Saturday on both sides of the river. This afternoon, the S&WB's turbine no. 4 at the main plant on S. Carrollton Ave., went offline. As workers were bringing turbine no. 5 on-line as back up, it exploded.
"There was an explosion," said Sewerage and Water Board leader Ghassan Korban. "There was some smoldering fire in the turbine."
Three workers received minor injuries. Two were taken to a hospital for treatment, the third declined.
The turbines provide power for the city's drainage pumps.
Across the river in Algiers, water pressure dropped suddenly when a water main broke this morning.
"We experienced a major loss of pressure," said Korban. "We experiened a loss of pressure below 20 psi, pounds per square inch, which is the threshhold dictating us declaring a precautionary boil water advisory."
Korban says the main has been fixed and pressure is back to normal, but it will take 24 hours before test results can tell them if they can lift the boil advisory or not.
