Utility Issues
Often times during construction – whether it be a new development or road/sewer construction – the placement or installation of utilities will be impacted due to how their installation is based upon previously existing rights-of-way and/or existing developments.
In the case of a capital project such as the widening of a roadway or installation of new sewer facilities, the relocation of utilities will precede actual construction activities. The relocation of these utilities is handled exclusively by the relevant utility company. If you wish to report issues or problems that are due to existing utilities that are being relocated, please contact the appropriate utility company.
If you are looking to report a utility-related issue with new utilities that are being installed as part of a new construction or development project, please contact the City-Parish Subdivision Engineering Office at (225) 389-3198 for more information about the project and/or guidance on how best to proceed with resolving the issue in question.
