While New Orleans waits for word that the latest precautionary boil advisory has been lifted, the public works committee of the New Orleans City Council meets Tuesday.
That meeting will include some discussion of the ongoing Sewerage & Water Board issues.

With the second water main break in this part of her district, City councilmember Aimee McCarron says she has questions.
"Why are we seeing this now, within three months of each other?" asked McCarron "Why are we having this issue so closely together?"
McCarron says she also has questions about the criteria that trigger boil advisories.:
"It interrupts everybody. It interrupts everybody, it interrupts restaurants," the councilmember said. "That disrupts people where they've got to figure out, 'OK, how am I going to go to work,' but also, 'what about childcare?'"
Meanwhile, the Sewerage and Water board says they expect to get the four-foot wide water main back in service by the end of the week, and hope to have the all-clear to lift the precautionary boil advisory by this afternoon.
