Call your local councilman and then just start emailing keenan.glover@la.gov with the state.

I just had issues with another neighborhood treatment plant making extremely loud noises 24/7 and the company refused to update the equipment and after I contacted them it was fixed.

You mean EAST Ascension. The west bank has had one for 50 years or so.

I think treated discharge would be released into the river, so the location for that purpose works.


Hopefully, it is down river from the Bayou Lafourche Donaldsonville Intakes.

6 damn roundabouts to get to that house which is less than 5 minutes from the interstate

If it was six lights, it'd be a 25 minute trip.

Maybe someone will know this without me starrting a thread on the HnGB.

How do you report someone for releasing untreated sewer effluent into a ditch in Ascension? Neighbors' modad system drains out foul smelling water 24/7 into the ditch. Given the general look of the home, I doubt the aerator pump is working and I'm certain there isn't any chlorine being added. Tired of the sulfur smell.

Report it to your parish sanitarian/ LDH.

The current problem is the neighborhood developer is responsible for that treatment plant. After about 10 years, the developer can no longer afford to maintain. Our neighborhood's plant was sold a few years ago to a larger company.


There are folks with money buying these small treatment plants up because if you can keep them running, they're a pretty good money printer. Usually don't need more than two 5hp submersible pumps and a panel with a basic controller on it that costs less than a thousand dollars. As long as you keep the panties and tampons and wet wipes out of it you don't have to mess with it very often. Maybe once a year if everything is going right.

Dillution is the solution to pollution.
