Working together for a stronger sewer system in District 5

The Bossier Parish Police Jury remains committed to improving infrastructure and protecting our environment through the continued development of the Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1. This initiative has already brought significant benefits—boosting property values, enhancing neighborhood aesthetics, and paving the way for future development across the parish.

In District 5, we are taking decisive action to address sewer system issues in the St. Charles Court and Cypress Bend neighborhoods. Our teams are on the ground, actively diagnosing and resolving the problems to ensure your system functions reliably and efficiently.

We’ve already made major upgrades to eliminate the need for treatment plants in the subdivisions. We are also making efforts to modernize and reinforce the lift stations by adding a SCADA System that provides advanced notice of when the water in the system exceeds normal operation levels. These improvements are part of a long-term strategy to deliver dependable service and peace of mind to every resident.

How You Can Help

To keep the sewer system operating at full capacity, we’re asking all residents to take a few simple but important steps:
• Do not flush baby wipes, “flushable” wipes, plastic bags, diapers, rags, or clothing.
• Do not pour grease, cooking oils, or motor oil down the drain.

These items do not break down properly and can clog pipes, damage and clog pumps and other equipment, and cause system shutdowns that require costly repairs and service interruptions.

We understand the inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your patience as we work swiftly to restore full service. Your quality of life is our top priority, and we are here to ensure that your neighborhood remains a great place to live.

If you have questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you—and we’re getting it done.
