Call Parish Government
Ask for Parish Permit Office
Ask if a Permit was issued for the work
Ask if it was inspected post construction to confirm drainage ordinance compliance
Tell them a drainage issue exists on a permitted project that could impact the Parish and/or municipality's liability if a permit was issued indicating drainage was not impacted as a part of the permitted project
In La, you are responsible for any drainage issue you create for your neighbor. It's well established state law.
This is correct

Not much progress so far.
1. I confirmed it is drainage associated with his pool. Area was dry, they got in their pool and I heard the pump running and low and behold more water from the pipe.
2. A guy from the public works department came look at the issue in person earlier this week. Think he's a project manager? Anyway he said he agrees its a problem but he isn't sure they can do anything about it. Said to give him a few days to look into it. That was tuesday, no response yet. I'll give him a week and if nothing happens I'll look into the permit office approach.
Does anyone know what laws or ordinances I can reference when dealing with the parish? I find that when something doesn't directly affect the person I am trying to get cooperation from (parish worker in this case), I need documentation to point to to make people get off their butts and help.
