Site work for a water / sewer project in Covington, Louisiana. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Project includes detailed modeling, engineering design, and construction of a 72-acre detention pond located along Bayou Liberty bordering 1-12. This project was conceptually outlined in the Watershed Management Plan as a possible mitigation measure for flooding and water quality issues in the region. Due to the close proximity of the Belair North Pond and Belair South Pond, these two projects function as one project through drainage modeling and design; however, permitting, property and construction are expected to be handled separately. New project. For 2024, project tasks will include surveying and detailed drainage study. For 2025, project tasks will include preliminary engineering design, environmental permitting, and land acquisition. Due to typical processing time for land acquisition and environmental permitting, wetlands mitigation and final design are not anticipated until 2028. Construction is expected to follow post 2028. Due to high construction costs, outside funding and alternative construction methods should be considered for this project. This project is included in the Saint Tammany Parish's FY 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of March 18, 2024, further details regarding firm construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
