Police jury adopts ordinance reshaping Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1 and sets rates and impact fees
Summary
Ordinance No. 5102 was adopted to redefine District No. 1 boundaries, establish water and sewer rates and impact fees by meter size, and appoint current police jury members as Supervisors; the ordinance passed unanimously April 1, 2026.
The Bossier Parish Police Jury adopted Ordinance No. 5102 to amend Chapter 122, Article III of the Bossier Parish Code of Ordinances relating to Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1. The ordinance updates district boundaries, incorporates authority under Chapter 22-A of Title 33 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, and appoints current police jury members as the district’s supervisors.
The ordinance also sets a schedule of fees and rates: for example, residential water was listed at $31.00 for the first 2,000 gallons plus $0.005 per additional gallon; residential sewer is a flat $54.00. The ordinance includes water and sewer impact fees by meter size (e.g., 5/8" meter water impact fee $1,200; residential sewer impact fee $1,500) with several size-based fee tiers and effective dates noted in the ordinance text. The motion to adopt the ordinance was offered by Philip Rodgers, seconded by Julian Darby, and passed unanimously.
