Kadillak...just looked up my ground elevation for my address and I am at 19.1 feet.

Here is a link if you are interested at where your house sits.

I don't know how long it runs or exactly how tall the aqua dam is that Iberville purchased.


I believe they said it’s 2 feet in the WBRZ video, and I saw somewhere (maybe the same video) that it runs for 3 miles.

Get off your high horse. Your parish is best known for its prisons and chemical plants.

If I can afford a million dollar home that doesn’t make me a wannabe. I’m already here.

Wow. That elevation saved all the houses in the Nicholson and Burbank corridor. This is unbelievable that EBR is filing a lawsuit today on this and haven’t had this litigated sooner.

Someone gonna take some proactive action.

So all you’ve told me is you have a lot of debt.

I can afford $1 million dollar house too. I’m just fine in my nice house and don’t worry about keeping up with the Jones’s. I also own other real estate and don’t tell people about what I have and live a pretty modest life.

People that try to flaunt what they have are tacky in my opinion. Congrats on your overpriced house and your “rich” neighbors.

Not sure why EBRP is crying. If there is not a law or no permit is needed for Iberville to use aquadams then there is nothing EBRP can do other than sue, which will end up being a waste of time and money.

Maybe because the neighboring parish is installing an artificial dam designed to force water into their own parish. It’s bullshite.

Actually it’s to stop the flow of water the EBR Parish into Iberville Parish.

Do you live in Uclub too?

What's going to be real fun is when the insurance companies sue him.

Actually it would stop Manchac from flowing into Spanish Lake.

Manchac forms the borders between EBR and Ascension and EBR and Iberville thus I’d guess it drains all three Parishes and not just EBR.

I don’t know what the law is, but to say the damn would block EBR water only isn’t correct.

It’s like you’re hoping it happens which seems strange and trashy but you’re for Iberville so that’s on brand. Hopefully everyone stays dry.



I am from Iberville.. Glad to know I am strange and trashy because I live in a parish that tries to protect its citizens.

Imagine there’s no parish division there. Would this be the most logical place to erect an artificial barrier to alter the natural flow of water for maximum benefit of the general population of the area?

Mitch Ourso's entire political existence is predicated on that us vs. Them mentality.

He’s not the first and won’t be the last. Hell, it’s like that between the Dems and Reb now.
