Nagin says some residents can return Monday

From NOLA.com:

In a drastic revision of earlier predictions, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said today that he expects to begin allowing residents in areas that did not flood to return to their homes. Those areas are Uptown, Algiers, the Central Business District and the French Quarter.

Potable water may be available in some of those areas by the end of next week, Nagin said.
