A turbine servicing New Orleans is down amid hurricane season.
The New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board announced Wednesday that Turbine 5 is out of service.
Repairs are not expected to be completed for two weeks.
The board says it will use Turbine 4, backup generators, and frequency changers to drain the city - though they do not have enough power to pump floodwaters at peak capacity.
