As we celebrate our nationâs freedom, we honor the courageous men and women dedicated to preserving it. Happy Independence Day!
Our office will reopen on July 5th and we'll be ready to celebrate that evening at Red, White, and Boom! that will take place at Shoe Creek--14150 Grand Settlement Blvd. Y'all come on out to have a fabulous time!
The first application of Texture on Hidden Creek Drive will be completed today. As of right now, MRI plans to apply the second application on Friday if the weather allows.
Please be advised that our preventative roadside maintenance crew will be wrapping up work on Old Settlement and North Old Settlement. The crew will mobilize to Rambling Oaks Subdivision next week, due to the amount of open roadside drainage in this subdivision. Our supervisor has placed door hangers in the subdivision to advise citizens of the impending work.

Central's Prayer Meeting is tomorrow!
Weâre excited to share that the City of Centralâs Department of Public Works employees recently participated in Stop the Bleed training hosted by Central Fire Department and facilitated by the Louisiana Firefighterâs Foundation. These employees received both training and equipment to render aid should they find themselves faced with an emergency while out in the field.
Stop the Bleed is a community-based program that equips individuals with the skills to manage life-threatening emergencies before first responders arrive. This training is vital in ensuring readiness to handle critical situations that affect the safety of our loved ones, neighbors, and community.
Thanks to Michael Armanini and Aaron Kowal for this invaluable training!

KEEPING YOU INFORMED
"While we are flushing you may possibly experience lower pressure than normal and could have a tint in the water. If you use any water in your home during the posted flush times you may draw this water into your plumbing system. Toilets and hot water heaters have tanks that can keep this water around long after we are done. If you continue to have discoloration or cloudy water after the posted flush has ended, please let the cold water tap in your kitchen run for approximately 3-5 minutes. If the cold water in the kitchen is clear and the hot water and toilets still have a tint, they may require a brief flush. If any of these issues continue after the posted flush times, please call us at 225-925-2011."
Please be advised.
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, or Emancipation Day, is a holiday celebrated on June 19th. It commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. Specifically, it marks the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced General Order No. 3, which declared that all enslaved people in Texas were free. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.
Juneteenth is a time for reflection, education, and celebration. In 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States.

Happy Fatherâs Day to all the amazing dads out there! đ Your love, strength, and guidance shape our lives in ways we can never fully express. This weekend, we celebrate you and all that you do. Thank you for being our heroes and our role models. Enjoy your special day!
One nation under God, indivisible. Our flag has a proud and glorious history. It was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon. Happy Flag Day! Have a worn and torn flag that needs to be retired? There is a flag box outside at city hall where you can place your old flags, and they will properly be retired.
