LAPLACE – St. John the Baptist Parish administrators announced that the Utilities Department, Spinks Construction Inc. and Suncoast Infrastructure Inc. will complete work on the wastewater line rehabilitation project in Reserve over the next four months.
The project is the second phase of inflow/infiltration repair work and will consist of point-to-point repairs and lining cracked wastewater lines in older areas of Reserve. The lining work will begin between West Third and West Ninth streets in Reserve. The areas between East 28th
and West 10th from Airline Highway to River Road will see work performed in the coming weeks.
“This is one of several ongoing efforts to improve our wastewater treatment system by decreasing the amount of storm water entering our distribution system,” said Parish President Natalie Robottom.
As a precaution, flagmen will be on site to manage traffic during construction. Periodic lane closures may occur; however, residents will be notified in advance when possible. Should residents have questions or concerns during this project, please contact the Utilities Department at 985-651-6800.
