Council requests parish president seek grants for $2.9 million Denham Heights sewer project
Summary
The Livingston Parish Council passed a resolution asking the parish president to pursue grant funding to connect Denham Heights subdivision to the Denham Springs sewer system; the project was described as costing $2,900,000 and intended to stop failing private septic systems from discharging into a nearby creek.
The Livingston Parish Council approved a resolution asking the parish president to pursue grant opportunities to connect the Denham Heights subdivision to the Denham Springs sewer system. The presenter described the subdivision as an older neighborhood served by private septic systems that are failing: clay piping has caused sewage to collect in yards and discharge into a creek.
The presenter said the project cost is approximately $2,900,000 and that residents are willing to connect to the parishwide sewer system. He asked the council to approve sending a representative to seek grants to cover necessary work.
A motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded; the council voted electronically and the motion passed. The transcript records a motion from Mister Magnus and a second by Mister Gulf; a numerical vote tally was not recorded in the transcript.
What this means: the parish president’s office will be asked to seek external funding (grants) to design and construct sewer extensions to Denham Heights. The transcript does not specify particular grant programs, timelines, engineering studies, or committed local match funding.
