Council reduces parish servitude extents on two drainage laterals at property owners' requests
Summary
The Council adopted ordinances reducing the parish's servitude rights under La. R.S. 38:113 for portions of drainage laterals L-1G-2 (Parcel 1820000661) and L-34D-6 (Parcel 08102A2066), at the request of the property owners; both ordinances were adopted July 7, 2026.
The St. Martin Parish Council adopted two ordinances July 7 that reduce the extent of the parish's servitude rights along specified drainage channels for defined portions of two parcels.
OR 26-07-1550-OR reduces the servitude on the western side of lateral L-1G-2 from 100 feet to 40 feet along a 200-foot portion of Parcel No. 1820000661 (requested by Workstrings International, LLC). OR 26-07-1551-OR reduces the servitude on the northern side of lateral L-34D-6 to 47 feet for Parcel No. 08102A2066 (I Buy Homes Cash Louisiana, LLC). Council recorded unanimous YEAS on both ordinances.
Both actions reference La. R.S. 38:113 as the statutory framework for drainage and maintenance servitudes; the adopted ordinances state the reductions apply only to the specific portions described and preserve other parish rights regarding the laterals.
