From Parish Councilman Gene Bellisario:

The Facts about potential flooding in your area

To my constituents,

There has been misinformation about the w15 project that I would like to correct,

Drainage engineers – experts -- designed this project, and it was vetted & approved by local, state and federal agencies.

A 42-acre retention pond has been designed to hold back the rain north of us during a rain event, and will gradually release the water over time -- at the same or lower rate than what happens now.

Again, the project is not designed to flood you.

For questions and concerns, please contact District 9 Parish Councilman Gene Bellisario, at bayouduo97@charter.net, or 985-788-8186.

Thank you.
