How to Tell an Entergy Pole from an AT&T Pole?
Got a problem with a utility pole that you’d like to report? Don’t know which company to call? Start by looking at the street side of the pole, just a few feet from the ground. If you see a shiny metal “NOPSI” tag nailed to it, like the one shown below, it belongs to Entergy New Orleans (1-800-ENTERGY). Otherwise, try AT&T (888-757-6500).
Another clue: A big round transformer near the top indicates an Entergy pole.

Entergy Update Assuages Customer Concerns
I’d like to give you an update on the work Entergy has completed to resolve customer concern and to locate the source of the odorant complaints [near State & Fontainebleau] we:
· Surveyed the area multiple times with several pieces of leak detection equipment and found no indication of a natural gas leak.
· We opened all drainage catch basins and sewer man-holes looking of a gas leak and nothing was found.
· We exposed the abandoned 12” cast iron and it remains full of water eliminating it as potential source
· We exposed the new plastic gas piping in the area and pressure tested it. No leaks were found.
· We added an enzyme to the drain near the intersection of Fontainebleau and State St. Dr.; the enzyme consumes odorant.
· We monitored the area for a couple of weeks and no odorant was found.
It appears that the enzyme solved the issue. Moreover, if a customer/resident smells natural gas or suspect a gas leak, call 1-800-ENTERGY(368-3749).
We appreciate all the residents patience and assistance with resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Kerry A. Jones

Does anyone know what these wires go to? They run underground inside a large grey conduit (shown here in front of 4030 Vendome). Even when disconnected, the nearest street lights still operate!
