Commission grants Tallulah 30‑day extension to finalize emergency plan under governor's order
Summary
Tallulah received a 30‑day extension to return with a final plan for addressing its water system under an emergency order; staff said a third‑party operator is on site and the extension will let the parish and state determine a priority project.
The Water Sector Commission granted the City of Tallulah a 30‑day extension on Sept. 17 to return with a final plan for addressing its water system, which is operating under a governor’s emergency order.
Commission staff reported that a third‑party operator was in place and working to stabilize the system. Because emergency funding and outside operators are involved, staff recommended the commission allow Tallulah time to complete a plan that identifies its priority project and a timeline. The commission approved the 30‑day extension without objection.
Why it matters: Tallulah is under an emergency governance posture for its water system; the extension allows state staff and local officials to coordinate on a plan that addresses immediate public health and system reliability needs without taking premature action.
Ending: Tallulah must present the commission with a final plan at the next meeting; staff will monitor progress and report to the commission.
