Entergy New Orleans partners with Councilwoman Lesli Harris’ office for District B Walkdown

04/07/2025

Entergy New Orleans is committed to maintaining a safe and reliable energy grid for our customers. As part of that commitment, this week we conducted a walkdown in the Faubourg-Delachaise and Touro-Bouligny neighborhoods to inspect utility poles and assess ongoing infrastructure needs.

Representatives from Councilwoman Lesli Harris’ office joined us for the walkthrough, reinforcing the importance of collaboration between local government and utilities to keep our communities safe and prepared.

  1. Fixing broken secondary arms
  2. Trimming vegetation around power lines
  3. Raising a crossing wire resting on a communication line
  4. Removing old utility poles

“Our walkdowns are a critical part of our commitment to reliability and community engagement,” said Nyka Scott, vice president of customer service and economic development at Entergy New Orleans. “By proactively inspecting our infrastructure, we can address issues before they become larger problems and ensure the resilience and safety of our system, especially as we prepare for hurricane season.”

Entergy New Orleans will continue conduct walkdowns in every district to assess and improve our infrastructure. We appreciate Councilwoman Harris’ office joining us in this effort, we and look forward to continued collaboration to keep New Orleans powered and prepared.

We encourage residents to play a part in this effort by reporting leaning poles or hanging wires to 1-800-9OUTAGE (1-800-968-8243), through the Entergy mobile app or myEntergy website
