Low Water Pressure
10/7/2024
REMINDER...The Town's water pressure is going to run low because we are draining the water tower for maintenance (posted 3 days ago). Expect the low pressure for the next several hours. We anticipate the pressure to drop to 25 psi, which is considerably low, until the tower is completely empty. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this maintenance must be done.

Service Lines of Water Meters
7/30/2024
Good afternoon, all. Please be advised that starting Wednesday, July 31, 2024, our utility crew will be digging at every water meter within our system. The State of Louisiana is mandating that every water system within the State dig and verify what type of lines are being used on the Town and Customer's sides (example pvc, metal, etc.) and report back to them by October. This is for visual purposes only, and will not interrupt your service. This project will take time, and we are hoping that all goes well. Once the services lines are identified, the utility crew will place the dirt back in the hole. If you have any questions, please contact the Town Hall at 337-585-7646.
