"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 atter 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."

The City of Central is hosting a litter cleanup event during #LovetheBoot Week, our state's largest litter removal and beautification effort held by @KeepLouisianaBeautiful every April. Let's work together to create a cleaner, greener, more beautiful Louisiana. This year, we are cleaning up in honor of America's 250th birthday! Show your love for your country and our community by participating. Join us for our event on April 18, 2026 from 8-10 a.m. at City Hall, 11530 Sullivan Road.

The building will be lit in blue for the month of April in honor of National Donate Life Month. Our community has experienced both profound loss and incredible hope through the selfless decisions of those who chose organ donation. One organ donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of more than 75 others through tissue donation. That impact is extraordinary, turning tragedy into renewed life and possibility for so many families. This month, we recognize the generosity of donors and their families, and we encourage everyone to consider registering as an organ donor to continue this life-changing legacy.

🇺🇸 Red, White, & BOOM is BACK! 🎆
