## Resource

A French Quarter restaurant owner is facing a financial nightmare: a $58,000 water bill and construction fencing that’s shut down 70% of her business. Despite no leaks found, the Sewerage and Water Board is stepping in—pausing bills for 90 days and promising to remove fencing this weekend. Business owners are rallying, and while the situation’s tense, there’s hope for relief as the city works to fix what’s become a major burden for local entrepreneurs.
