Ascension Parish was a much better place pre 2005.

Let me get this straight…as your driving through your neighborhood, you look to the nearest lake…and it’s higher than you? That’s what you’re saying.
Wrong. If the street is lower than the water level of the receiving pond the street would be under water during normal conditions.

More developers, and those who enable them, need to be sued.

Same issue at a gated condo subdivision on Old Perkins in P'ville.....they lowered the level of the lake years ago to compensate and it looked terrible at the time...Not sure it solved the problem or not...

Yes sir, that is correct.
I live in manchac harbor. Been here since 2014. This simply isn’t true. The only engineering issue we’ve had with pond drainage is the overflow piping on one of the ponds. Fixing that was a multi year shitshow, but has nothing to do with street drainage.
Half the neighborhood did flood in 2016, but that was 100% because of the Amite River level and the ponds were full above the rim before the streets were under water.

The parish did not inspect and issued permits willy nilly. These neighborhoods, not in a flood zone, all flooded in 2016.
Not hearing chatter.
It was a 1000 year flood. The retention ponds had nothing to do with Manchac Harbor flooding or the rest of that side of Hwy 42. The Amite backed up into Manchac and Manchac into Muddy Creek.
I live in Manchac Harbor, this is the first I’m hearing about this. The lake behind our house isn’t higher than the street.
That said, 90 of the 235 houses in the neighborhood flooded. We were fortunate, our house didn’t flood. Our elevation was a few inches higher than others that flooded.

You just don’t know about it yet.
Ask your HOA people. They know about it.
Better yet, ask your councilman or Parish President. Then report back.

There may be drain pipe design issues and corrosion. But I know for a 100% fact that the ponds aren’t higher than the streets. If they were, the streets would be underwater regardless of what the pipe looks like.

They only had one year to sue. Eight years too late.

Contractors should be held responsible
Yeah that’s not how that works. Contractor’s job is to build per plans and specs. If the contractors followed plans, then it falls on engineers and the parish zoning (who also should have engineers).
If the contractors didn’t, then that’s different story

I’ve lived in the neighborhood 12 years and have served on the HOA board.
There would be no reason to keep this information from homeowners.

FIFY
Been here for generations and I can't wait to leave.

This sounds like a rumor that has a couple of details right and many others wrong.

The pipe that runs from the storm drains to the lakes are submerged in the lakes.
By a lot.
There is no way for any water to drain off the culdesac.
Ask the parish why they can’t drain water from the culdesac on Lighthouse. They know about this. The drain on that street has never not had water in it. It’s filled to the brim 365….because the drain in the lake is under the water.
Also, the issue on Lighthouse specifically is on the property line of someone on the HOA, so maybe they can provide more details.
This is also exactly what they’ve been trying to fix in 12 Oaks for the last few years. I’m sure someone lives in there and have seen them out there doing this.

Is this the same neighborhood that gets covered with red dust from the aluminum plant?

Actually, they had 5 years to sue. It's called a peremptive period under Louisiana law.

Yep. They'll probably pull whatever drainage study was submitted to the parish and see if the engineering firm fudged the numbers, then see if the contractor built it to the plan. Like others have said, it could be a maintenance problem since a retention pond higher than the street would've shown itself much sooner than 8 years down the road
