Parish reports River Oaks lift station nearly complete as part of wastewater upgrade initiative
Summary
Parish President Jewell said crews have poured concrete tops, wet wells, valve pits and electrical pads at the River Oaks Lift Station, which is about 80% complete as the parish transitions older enclosed wet wells to submersible lift stations.
Parish President Jewell told the council that work at the River Oaks Lift Station is roughly 80% complete as the parish replaces older enclosed wet-well pumps with submersible lift stations.
Jewell said crews are currently pouring concrete tops, wet wells, valve pits and electrical service pads, which she described as measures that improve safety for residents and for maintenance crews. The president said the work is part of a larger initiative to upgrade aging wastewater infrastructure and improve long-term system performance.
Jewell acknowledged additional wastewater investments will be needed and framed the River Oaks work as one piece of a broader capital-improvement program; the parish did not provide an estimated cost or a funding breakdown for the River Oaks portion during the remarks.
No formal council action or vote was recorded on the project within the remarks; the update was presented as an operational status report.
