Parish reports waterline work, generator testing and completed beautification grants

Plaquemines Parish Council · April 23, 2026

Summary

Administration reported a water replacement contractor started work on Marks Lane/Bertrandville, Highway 11 pipe crossing near completion, generator hookup and planned power-transfer testing at Building 203, completed beautification garden grants in several communities, and announced a DOTD public meeting May 21 for Peters Road bypass work.

Parish administration opened the session’s updates by reporting that contractor work on a water replacement project serving Marks Lane to Bertrandville started on April 20 and that a pipe crossing on Highway 11 should be completed this week. Staff said an electrician will finish the gas hookup and run the generator at Building 203, then simulate outages to test automatic transfer switches; that testing may require a weekend power shutoff.

Administration also reported completed beautification garden grant work in Phoenix, Belle Chasse, Empire and Port Sulphur and said once signage is installed in Venice, Burris and Braithwaite additional grant applications will be submitted. A public meeting hosted by the DOTD (with Burk Kleinpeter listed as host) about Peters Road Bridal and the bypass will be held Thursday, May 21, 5:30–7:30 p.m. at the Bill Chase Auditorium; staff encouraged public attendance.
