Due to a mechanical failure during a scheduled upgrade of the Texas Street Sewer Lift Station, North Monroe residents could experience sewer issues.
The Texas Station services a large area, covering from 1-20 to the North Levee System. Its service boundaries include everything from Riverside Drive to Lamy Lane; River Oaks is covered by a different station.
The City of Monroe Sewer Department is working to address the issue as quickly as possible. The work is expected to take between two and three days. During the time it takes to address the issue, there is a likelihood of sewage backing up into all of the sewer lines within the Texas station’s coverage area. Overflows from cleanouts and manholes are also possible.

Due to the work being executed to help address the failure of the Texas Street Sewer Lift Station, the City of Monroe is closing a portion of Oliver Road. A bypass is being installed from the Texas Station to the Hadley Station.
The road closure is expected to begin at 7:30 a.m. Friday morning. It will impact approximately one city block of Oliver Road. Traffic will be rerouted around that area.
The closure will last until the short-term repair is complete. The city estimates the work will be completed in two to three days.
