“With the recent news of reorganization at BREC, we’re taking a look at two playgrounds with the same goal—but built through two very different processes. Same purpose. Very different results. More to come.” -Wade Evans, Vice Chairmen of the BREC Commission
"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."
Let's celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring message of equality, justice, and peace. Let’s honor his dream by continuing to work towards a more inclusive and compassionate world. Happy MLK Jr. Day!
Offices will open on Tuesday.
