That resolved quickly.
Federal judge signs order to temporarily restrain aquadams in Iberville

I haven't read any of this thread so I don't know what has and hasn't been discussed already.
It seems both parish's leaders are doing what they should be doing, which is doing all they can to help/protect their residents. Ourso has no obligation to EBR and Broome has the right to disagree with his actions. It'd be nice if we had a governor or other leader that could've brought everyone together in the past 3 years to come to some agreement on the proper action to be taken (although I know Mitch isn't exactly looking to compromise)

They've been planning this move since 2016.

Well...one parish's residents built their residences and cities on high ground. The other settled in the drainage basin.
Who's more right here?

First off I'm not pretending to know the geography and natural runoff in that area, and I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong.
But it is Ourso's job to take care of the residents in his parish, and I cant fault him for doing what he's doing.
This will eventually be settled in the courts. But I know Mitch will fight this as far as he can.
Fyi I'm an EBR resident

From what I hear, he'll end up there one way or another.

What about those Iberville people living in uclub south? I think this would negatively affect them. Is uclub south the nicest thing in all of Iberville?

Bayou fountain drains to bayou Manchac. Spanish likes naturally drains into bayou Manchac. Bayou Manchac drains into the Amite River. When Amite starts to be overrun, Manchac overtakes the natural flow of Alligator bayou which drains Spanish lake.
I played a major role in rebuilding the new flood gates at Alligator Bayou/Bayou Manchac. We built the new structure 1’ foot higher than the 2016 flood water got. I know for a fact that the gates are closed so no water from Bayou Manchac will be flowing to Spanish lake. In conclusion, yes the aqua dams are deployed but the new road (which we raised during construction) is significantly higher than the water will get.

I have no doubt that the water will not get over the road this time. But that's not gonna stop Mitch from taking a chance to show his constituents that "I'll fight big bad BR for you". And the story will continue running on every news station that every Iberville resident is watching for this entire storm

He even mentioned in an article that it was an election year. He has no issue saying what his intentions are

Why is there so much fricking drama over Spanish Lake.
Posted on 7/12/19 at 10:21 pm to topwater30
The south end of the lake drains into Ascension also and could impacts the Geismar area and plants. While this is an Iberville vs. EBR fight, Ascension is watching closely also.
BTW the new road has some massive crevasses in to do to the sub-base shifting.
