New Orleans bans metallic balloons and confetti after they caused power outages and sewer disruptions.
New Orleans has banned the release of metallic balloons and confetti after they caused power outages and disrupted sewer systems.
The ban follows an incident where metallic balloons triggered a widespread power outage by touching power lines, affecting the city's water treatment plant.
Council member Joseph Giarrusso advocated for the ban to prevent such incidents, while a July ordinance also prohibited confetti cannons at parades.
