LA FLOOD FIGHT
ST. GABRIEL, La- A state supreme court decision late in the week will allow Iberville Parish to continue to block south-flowing floodwater with temporary blockades called AquaDams.
Days earlier, a judge in Baton Rouge granted a request from East Baton Rouge officials to force Iberville to stop using the dams out of fear the system would push water back into the Baton Rouge area. Â
The ruling came with what the Iberville Parish President believed was a gotcha meeting with the governor where Gov. John Bel Edwards summoned Ascension, East Baton Rouge and Iberville officials to a meeting to discuss the situation in the immediate days after Monday s flooding rain.
