FOLLOW-UP REPORT: SANITATION FEE COLLECTION BY THE SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD
August 10, 2016
The New Orleans Office of Inspector General (OIG) followed up on its July 2013 report on the Sewerage and Water Board’s (S&WB) collection of sanitation fees. The original report found that neither the City nor the S&WB terminated sanitation or water services for customers who did not pay their sanitation bill. The follow-up report found that millions in sanitation fees remain uncollected; lack of enforcement and poor controls persist.
