Ninth Ward flooded… again

Workers dealt Monday with large ponds of water in some areas that were previously flooded by Hurricane Katrina, but authorities said the pools were not a major concern.
In the Gentilly area, several inches of water stood along several hundred feet of a street near the London Avenue Canal, which was breached by Katrina eight weeks ago and continues to undergo repair.
The water was coming through a breach that was repaired earlier, said Alan Dooley, spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers. The seepage involved clear water, which means the water was not degrading the repairs, he said.
