New Orleans sits in a bowl surrounded by water, with most neighborhoods below sea level and a water table often within inches of the surface. When sewer lines back up, contaminated water has nowhere to drain naturally. Gravity works against you. Sewage sits in contact with foundations, soaks into pier supports on raised homes, and saturates the ground beneath slabs. Heavy summer rains that dump three inches in an hour overwhelm the pump system, and when Sewerage and Water Board stations lose power during storms, pressure reverses throughout the collection network. Emergency raw sewage extraction in this environment requires understanding how the city's drainage topology forces contamination to pool rather than flow away.
