Ted, What happens when that goes into Lake Pontchartrain. Do you know if the lake is used for drinking water?

a) Even if it is, at least the water will get treated before re-entering the drinking supply.

b) Better to get the muck water out of the city first, no matter where it ends up. I'd prefer the river over the lake, but even if it ends up in the lake, that's better than nothing.

"Do you know if the lake is used for drinking water? "

It is treated any way. The problem is the oysters, clams, bay scallops, etc. I don't know if the lake is exploited for commercial fishing, but it won't be for a while. According to this

pubs.usgs.gov

everything but the bay scallop is common in the lake.
