Two major water main breaks have occurred in southeastern Louisiana. One disrupted water to the east bank of Jefferson Parish, and the other has interrupted water to residents in Lafourche Parish. A civil engineer suspected that the drought and the hot summer were behind the problems with the soil shifting and shrinking, leading to water main breaks.
