HAPPENING TOMORROW!!!

Replacing water well on Joor Rd. today through Friday.

"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."

Exciting News for Chaneyville Fire District Residents!🔥🚒 We are proud to share that the PIAL fire rating for the Chaneyville Fire District, which serves the northern portion of the City of Central, has officially improved! Their rating has moved from a PIAL “Class 5” to a strong PIAL “Class 4” — and they are now only 1.63 points away from reaching a Class 3 rating! This improvement means great news for homeowners: it can significantly help lower the cost of homeowner’s insurance for everyone in our fire district. A huge thank you to our dedicated firefighters and leadership for their hard work in making this possible! #CityOfCentral #ChaneyvilleFireDistrict #CommunityProgress
