Council hears infrastructure updates: Highway 11 patching, Belle Chasse concrete, water‑billing switchover and a new fire truck
Summary
Administration told the council Highway 11 patching is near completion, Belle Chasse concrete work should finish next week (weather permitting), the water‑billing system migration is complete and being double‑checked, and a new Woodlawn Station fire truck with a 1,500‑gpm pump was delivered and will enter service after mounting and training.
The parish administration briefed the council on multiple operational items. Staff said patching along Highway 11 south of Kazoo Drive is near completion and crews will move to the stretch from Empire Bridge to Kazoo Drive next, then north of the bridge. The Belle Chasse concrete package is expected to be completed by next week, weather permitting.
Administration also reported the water‑billing system migration is complete and that the team is verifying transferred data and fixing a few accounts manually; the process was expected to take 2–3 weeks to complete. Staff announced delivery of a new fire truck for the Woodlawn Station, describing its capabilities: the apparatus has a 1,500‑gallon‑per‑minute pump, carries 1,000 gallons onboard and includes a 30‑gallon foam system; it will require mounting and training before it goes into service.
