Police Jury allocates $400,000 in ARPA funds to Assumption Parish Waterworks

Assumption Parish Police Jury · July 22, 2026

Summary

Assumption Parish Police Jury approved a $400,000 allocation of ARPA funds to Assumption Parish Waterworks for water infrastructure projects on Highways 402 and 403, to be obligated before the December 31, 2026 deadline.

During the Engineering & Grants committee meeting and the regular session on July 22, the Police Jury approved allocating $400,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to Assumption Parish Waterworks for water infrastructure improvements on Highways 402 and 403.

Chairman Leroy Blanchard said the parish currently had $428,321.50 unobligated in ARPA funds and discussed whether to fund a Waterworks engineering estimate for improved flow on Highway 402/403. The motion to allocate $400,000 passed unanimously; the resolution notes the requirement that ARPA funds must be used by December 31, 2026. The item was entered into the minutes and the appropriation will be tracked through the parish’s grants and capital accounting processes.

The allocation does not specify final project design or procurement details; the Jury authorized the funding and directed staff to pursue next steps with the Waterworks authority and to ensure compliance with ARPA rules and timely obligation.
