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.
