Two Sewerage and Water Board officials have been ousted in response to an exclusive WWL-TV investigation last fall that found government employees in charge of plumbing inspections and permits in the city of New Orleans were involved in a web of self-dealing with private contractors and other city building inspectors.

Jay Arnold resigned as the head of the Sewerage and Water Board’s Plumbing Department last Thursday, the agency confirmed Wednesday. Documents provided to WWL-TV also show one of Arnold’s top deputies, Plumbing Inspection Supervisor Assistant Vernon Marcotte, was fired the same day.

Pretty sad that SWBNO is totally clueless as to what goes on under their watch. When it takes an outside investigation to bring light to illegal and fraudulent activity occurring within the organization, the problems usually stem from much higher within. Maybe they should start digging deeper into this entity...when there is smoke there is usually fire. Probably good time for a complete house cleaning, or better...dissolve the board and roll it into the Public Works Dept.
