The Inspector General wrote Mayor Landrieu to express concerns regarding the Sewerage and Water Board’s (S&WB) capacity to manage additional resources in the event that legislation needed to approve rate increases passed. The IG’s assessment was based on standard risk assessment methodologies conducted by the OIG, which indicated that the S&WB was the most likely of the City’s component entities to engage in fraud, waste, and abuse, and raised concerns that additional funds might not be spent properly and in the public interest.
