Sorry I never responded. A supervisor in the public works department.


Go back to him with the pertinent section of state law I quoted earlier printed out. Show it to him or the manager in public works. Let them know you want his response in writing on City/Parish Letterhead. Inform him you aren't leaving until you get it.

Put your local police juror on speed dial.

This is local government effing up. They know what he did and they either didn't inspect before or after. This is 100% their issue from a liability perspective if they permitted it. He bears responsibility to an extent but if they issued a permit they are screwed.

If they didn't issue a permit it still doesn't matter because their entire reason for existence is to enforce code. Is your city or parish permit official involved?

If so why not? Call them. Tomorrow.

I emailed it to the guy twice and he said "we can't do anything". He even came out to look at the problem in person. My survey is supposed to be done tomorrow morning. I'll then have a lot more ammo to fight this.
- the survey map (showing the pipe across the property line)
- pics of damage
- video of the pump running

Once I have all of that I can go the" who permitted this route" if I need to.
