Broussard asks parish utility to allow wholesale water sales to Eola Place subdivision
Summary
By Resolution 842-25 the council requested an amendment to the wholesale water agreement that would allow the city to sell wholesale water to the Eola Place subdivision outside city limits within the parish; staff said this follows utility procedure and the developer will install required infrastructure.
The City of Broussard Council approved Resolution 842-25 on June 9, 2025, requesting that the parish utility (referred to in the record as LUS/LCG) amend the wholesale water agreement to permit the city to sell wholesale water to the Eola Place subdivision, a development located outside Broussard city limits but within the parish.
Mel, a staff member, explained the request as a routine procedural step: "This is a procedure that LUS requires that we do. We pass a resolution from our council requesting to amend the contract to be able to sell water to somebody that's outside of our city limits but in the parish." Mel added the developer will install a meter to city specifications and will be responsible for the subdivision’s internal infrastructure; the city would sell wholesale water at the meter.
Nut graf: The resolution asks the parish utility to permit an exception or an amendment enabling wholesale water service to an unincorporated subdivision; the city and developer will follow established meter and infrastructure requirements. The action formalizes the council's request but does not itself change the parish contract without the utility’s approval.
Action: The resolution passed by unanimous roll-call vote. The transcript records no public comment. The council did not specify rates, timeline, or whether the parish utility has agreed; those items remain subject to the utility's approval and standard procedures.
