Picturing and explaining Shreveport's water & sewage issues is a task for which former newscaster Liz Swaine is well suited.
Also, kudos to Scott Crain, video producer of Underground and Under Attack.

The bond issue about which she speaks will go to a popular vote in April, 2011.
Why don't you just levy a one time water infrastructure reconstruction tax? Won't it create jobs locally, spur the economy, get shit done, and prevent monetary and environmental cost in the medium, long term.
Bonds are a bad ideal vs specifically defined rate increase because as you say the accrued interest. PSA's on deterring vices that exacerbate the problem would be conducive as well.
