To Verify the license by calling the State Plumbing Board of Louisiana (www.spbla.com) in Baton Rouge at (225) 756-3434. The Louisiana Association of Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors has a link on their Web site to find licensed master plumbers. To access, go to www.laphcc.org.

What license is required in Louisiana to do what type of work?

The state of Louisiana requires a journeyman or master license to do plumbing work in Louisiana. A journeyman must also be under the supervision of a master plumber, except when repairing existing plumbing. Apprentices can do plumbing work, but only with a journeyman on site at all times directing the work. The journeyman can only supervise one apprentice on one job at a time. A homeowner may do plumbing work on his own property, if he resides there, without a license.

A master plumber is qualified to plan and lay out plumbing systems, as well as supervise any installation, modification and/or repair of plumbing systems by a journeyman plumber. A journeyman plumber is qualified to do only installations, alterations and/or repairs to plumbing systems.

Plumbers can do work up to $50,000. If the plumbing work on a project exceeds $50,000, the plumber must have a contractor’s license as well, even if working as a subcontractor for a licensed contractor.

We are aware of the current odor in our water system. 🚰

We 100% purchase our water, everyone in the area that receives their drinking water from the Teche is having the same issue. This is not an isolated event.

Due to the Core of Engineers Lock Status, it's currently restricting the flow of fresh water. We are limited as to what we can do, however we will continue flushing🚿 as much as possible, and testing/sampling our water every single day to provide you with the safest drinking water. The water is safe for consumption.

Due to the recent freeze lots of people are having issues with Water Heaters - If you have an electric water heater - check to see if your elements are working. If you lost water and the elements were not submerged in water you possibly have burnt elements or your controls may have frozen up.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the city in where you get your water.
